left alone. reads the letter.
Now Go On With the Story
CHAPTER II
Margaret Rogers read the letter
through a third time. She sat on
the bed In the small, dimly lighted
room, and bent over the sheet Of
paper which still trembled slightly
as she held it.
She knew every word typed con-
cisely in black on the page of letter
head stationery. She knew those
words and yet her eyes would not
leave them. The entire letter had
been scared on her brain since
morning when she had first torn
open the envelope. IL was all just
the same with the same hideous
meaning.
Certain phases jumped forth.
Better for the girl"-"offer her
every advantage"-~in a position TO
do much'-"consider her welfare"
Those were some Of them.
The letter fell to Mrs. Rogers
lap and then to the floor. With
both hands she gripped the edge OF
the bed. Fear welled In the great
brown eyes, sweeping her other
features and comforting her face.
mol" The cry was partly rebel

Harmless enough the manuscript
looked. lying there at her feet. Il
was only a few paragraphs typed
on respectable stationery. The let
ter read:
my dear Margaret: The subject
I am about to breach Is one which
has been on my mind for several
months. You will understand ,

considering its many angles.
Il refer TO Celia and your plans
for he< future. I am willing to
take the girl and offer her the
advantages OF education. foreign
travel and a home of established
social position. You know. I am
sure. that I am in position TO do
much for her. She will soon be IS.
The tiSe has come when her fu-
ture must be considered.
II hope that you will consider her
welfare first in answering this Of
fer. All Of the arrangements I have
in mind depend naturally on your
decision. AS the matter is Of the
greatest importance to me 7 hope

BEDTIME STORIES

". BURGESS

He knew that his home had been cut
down. He wanted to go for last look
at it. At the same time, thinking that
he was now homeless, he felt that the
wise thing to do would be to go back
to the Green Forest to one of his old
homes.
First, Whitefoot started toward the
bush where the big wasps' nest had
been. Then he turned and started
toward the Green Forest. Again he
stopped and turned back. II must have
a look and see that nest just once
more" said he to himself. He made
sure that the way was safe. Then he
ran over to where that nest had been
dropped on the ground by Farmer
Browns Boy. He rubbed his eyes.
There was no nest there. HE took
that nest away" thought Whitefoot
Now I know that the only thing for
me to do is to go straight back into
the Green Forest, and the sooner I get
there the better"
Perhaps it was habit. Anyway, White
foot looked up in the bush where that
big hornets nest used to be. He almost
fell over with surprise. Once more he
rubbed his eyes There was that big
nest up there. 1t wasn't quite where
it had been, but it was very near it
There couldn't be any doubt about It.
Once more Whitefoot was of two minds
He wanted to scramble up and see if
his nest inside that wasps' nest was
undisturbed At the same time he was
afraid and being afraid, he wanted to
run away.
Before Whitefoot could quite make
I'D his mind, Peter Rabbit came along
Hello. Whitefoot," said Peter. What
are you looking at up in that bush?
Haven't you ever seen a waspS nest
before? That nest has been there all
Winter. I've seen it every time I've
passed this way. In fact, saw 1t last
Summer, but I took good care not to
get too near it then. BY the way,
Whitefoot, aren't you ever going to tell
me where that home of yours is?"
"I don't know" replied Whitefoot IN
his squeaky little voice.
do you mean you don't know
whether you are going to tell me, or
that you don't know where your home
lisp" demanded Peter.
Whitefoot didn't say.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 30.- Eleven naval academy crews are on the water daily, and while the huge turnout does not mean that the midshipmen necessarily will have a crack varsity crew, the Tars prom ise to have a much improved eight over a year ago.
 Coach old Dick" Glendon has little comment to make on pros poets, but the first boatload appears a husky lot, with plenty of endur- ance and rhythm in it's sweep
 The present varsity eight is com posed of Pieczskowski, bow; Keil- baugh, 2; Gray, 8; Crinkley, A.; Shelton, 5; Hunter, 6; Jung, ?, and Westhofen, stroke. Rivero is the coxswain.
 Several of the men have been moved up from last seasons junior varsity, while two are from last years crew boatload. Many new faces are seen in the junior varsity, although several of last years first string men have been denoted, while Steffanides and Eddy of the Junior Varsity of year ago have fallen to the third crew.
 The junior varsity boating fol- lows: Quirk, bow; Young, 2; De- long, 3; Greenhouse, 4; Peterson, g.; 6; Scheni, T; Nelson, stroke, and Jacobs, coxswain.
 Three 150-pound crews are on the water together with large number of plebes. The plebes and 150 pounders are in charge of Buck Walsh, former varsity bladesman Walsh is being aided by Lieuten- ants Graves, Brown and Andrews.

From the Alpine heights of the new press box at Shibe Park, sus- pended from the upper roof of the arandstand, the Worlds Champion Athletics on opening day looked equally as impressive, if not more than they did from a lower obser- walton post last October in beating the Chicago Cubs for baseball's main prize.
 If first impressions, therefore, are as lasting as they are advertised to be, Connie Macks able and agile pupils will have no difficulty what ever in winning the pennant again. On the first day, at least, the new edition of Yankees, under Bob Shawkeys leadership, had neither the brawn nor the brains to cope with Lefty Grove and the As. No longer do the Mackmen, Grove in particular, manifest any inferiority complex when they meet Babe Ruth and Company. The confidence aroused by gaining supremacy over the New Workers last year is re- flected in large quantities by the Philadelphia cast in general and expressed in loud tone of voice by Jimmy Dykes, the peppery third baseman, in particular.
 The championship qualities of the Athletics are obvious in the way they rise to emergencies or to the dramatic possibilities of spec ial occasions. Spectacular proof of this was evident in the last worlds series. In the opening game of the 1880 campaign, Aloysius Harry Simmons put aside the fountain pen with which he had just signed his contract, grabbed bat and knocked the ball out of the park on his first turn at the plate. =.
 If few predictions on the As are, warranted, outside the expec- tation that they will repeat, two of them are that Grove will have his greatest year ana that Oeorge (Mule) Haas, in centerfield, will be one of the most improved players On the club.
 Groves opening performance em- phasized he no longer relies solely upon tremendous speed. The slim southpaw can throw bird-shot in the direction of the plate when he needs to but his curve looks bet

ter and his change of pace more effective. Babe Ruth missed one of Groves curves by a foot for the third strike and two of the Yam kee newcomers, Cooke and Chap man, probably aren't sure yet just what it was the southpaw was buzzing by them.
 Haas, youngest of the Mack regu- lars outside of Jimmy Foxx, has developed fast. He hit .230 in 1928, his first season as regular, .313 last season and should move up close to the .350 class this sea- son. The 26-year- -old centerfielder caught the eye of Ty Cobb, as well as a number of others, by the way he performed in the worlds series last year. He is one of the fastest men on the club and ball-hawk on defense.
 The effect of Ty Cobb's tutor ing has left it's mark on the bat ting form of Al Simmons. The great left-feilder of the As looks for all the world like a right-hand- ed Cobb at the plate, in the crouching ease of his stance, sharp swing and even to the wide, loose sleeves that Ty affected. Simmons, like Cobb, is a dangerous hitter to all fields. Al hits impartially over the right-field wall or into the left-field stands at Shibe Park
