 P a r a d e
By SIDNEY B. NIPPLE (Pinch Hitting for
 Henry McLemOre)

New York, Dec "A. (UPl-John (Chick) Meehan's Yuletide sock has in 1t a contract to coach the football team, if any, of Manhattan college. Manhattan men are known to the press us the "Jaspers." Why, I don't know and haven't time just now to stop and find out cer- tainly nobody by the name or Jasper ever lived in New York, and the whole thing looks suspici- ous.
 Syracuse, and up there, in Onon- daga county, and also in cato, Se- neca, Homer and similar townships there are many Jaspers and Jasons and Jebediahs.
 There Is one significant state- ment to go with this announce ment. The Jaspers,. as far as one can find out, have been disporting Themselves in back lots and subur- ban pastures for, 10, these many years.
 Now, 1t is said, with MT Mech ans contract tied with holly rib- bon and mistletoe, the Jaspers are nego otiating for the Polo Grounds, preparatory to launching their 1882 football season. That's what they think of MT Meehan as a box office attraction.
 Mir Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, the eminent violinist, failing to op- tain an engagement to fight, has accepted an engagement to riddle, according to the latest prints.
 1t ia a far cry from raps to rhapsodies and from rosined feet to a resined bow, but one wishes MT O'Brien well. The concert stage has long needed popping up. Too many of our artists have only one string to their bows and are in- capable of doubling in brass
 it has not been my privilege to hear MT O'Brien in concerto: do not know whether his roper toire runs to "Old Zip Coon" or Franz Liszt's "Eine Symphonic Zu Dante's Divina Commedia." How ever, having seen him fight, am under the impression I should pre- fer hearing him fiddle.
 For myself, I have always felt the violin to be too effete for such as Philadelphia Jack. My own se- cret ambition mas peen to pay e contra bassoon. I have pictured myself surprising room full or friends by saying, when converse ton Jagged, "how'd you like littie tune on the -bassoon?"
 You know the rest of it. :.
 "How they laughed when the old gaffer said he could play the con tra -bassoon. But their laughter stiiled to silence after the first bell like notes, and when the final oom- pah had died away, There came thunderous applause! Back slap ping! Tears and cheers!
 "And when I told them I had learned in two short weeks, writ ling this column with one hand and twiddling the spigots of the con tra- -bassoon with the other. they wouldn't believe me. Yet did II lall through Prof Henry McLe- more's easy courses for super Iannuated sports writer's"

 "O-oh!" She buried her face in her hands.
 What made you do it, I can't figure out. Can't you see what you are counting by keeping on like this?"
 Dry-eyed, she looked up sudden ly. Suppose do see?" she flung at him. What if know what I'm doing-what if I don't care? Oh, you're right that I've made a fool of myself. You're right, suppose, that people believe I'm what you're so sure I'm going to be after what I've done. Well, what else am going to do? I've got to live-and support Aileen. How am I to do it?"
 Charming did not answer.
 "Well?" She twiched her shoul- ders and assumed a pose. Just what is the answer-if I have to tell you? I don't propose to slave my life away as waitress or in an office-where I'd get a stingy salary and every man who saw me would try to date me upl I guess I have some intelligence, but I haven't any fitness for the sort of things that girls can do and earn real money for them.

 Not in that way"
 Like some savage fury, Vivienne stood before him-far more allur- ing than anything he had ever seen. Rage was evident in every line of her trembling body. Dart ing to the table, she caught up the little figure of herself Charming had given Aileen-one that for ob- vious reasons, she never wished to see again.
