Ponies Well Fortified With
Material For Coming Season

DALLAS, Sept. l2.-In looking
over the Mustangs of Southern
Methodist University for 1891 and
trying to pick eleven starting men,
or even twenty-five men, ii is very
difficult to reach any conclusion.
With seventeen lettermen return
ing, besides a large group OF last
years squad men and freshmen. It
Is doubtful that a starting lineup
will be picked that will prove at all
permanent Here Is a short review
Of each position.
Center-Delcambre is the only
lette-man returning to the pivot
position. De- will be playing his third
and last year with the Mustangs.
Browning and Elkins. two Of last
years squad me will be in the race
for center. as we'll as Hayes, one Of
last seasons Colts.
Strong Material.
Guard.-Neeley. Burleson and
Riley are all lettermen fighting for
the guards position. Medley will be
playing his last year. while the others
are playing their second wear. Sam
Trant. a Sophmore. will also have
to be given consideration for ..lis
position. Joe Prince, Mcleod and
Kelsay are three more that may win
out from the lettermcn for their
position.
Tackle.-The tackles position will
be well taken care OF this year with
two lettermen. four squad men. and
two Colts fighting 1t out. Harmon
and Tate are the lettermen return
ing. They probably have a slight
edge over their teammates. BRAY.
Fly. Jackson and Smith all looked
good last year. The other two men.

here to Summerfeld to visit Phil whom
he'd known in college, Judy would
never have met him. 1t brought home
to her with a small shock, how short
q time she'd known Stan after all. One
short month ago, she had not known
he existed. Less than four weeks, and
she was his wife. For better, for worse,

shiver Of excitement passing over her:
excitement edged with fear that passed
as soon as she recognized it.
"Iil never forget 1t, Phil! I'll hold it
against you to my dying day!' How
shaky her laugh sounded. Heavens! 1t
was hot in here. Couldn't they open
more windows!
Some one grabbing her, holding her
for moment imprisoned in his arms as
though they were alone. Ken Baker,
a defiant gallant grin on his lips and
look of hurt in his eyes. She had been
Ken'S~ girl before Stan came to town.
Ever since high school days she had
been paired off with Ken at dances
parties, picnicS. Would she have mar
ried Ken if Stan hadn't come in like a
conquering army sweeping all before
him?
Il ought to hope that you'll regret
t'runnin' me down, Woman!' Ken was
making a gallant effort TO belle The
shadow in his eyes. But I'll be a
scholar and gentleman and wish you
all kinds of good luck-dear."
Judy was aware that Mrs Watson
had hustled through the crowd to them.
Mrs. Watson was used TO weddings and
refused to be awed. Her voice was

Mrs Watson was blessedly obtuse,

Caution In the proper place
Aes sometimes sape yoH {som az 1s'gs erri:r
As q rule, Flip the Terrier Is not as
cautious as he should be. He Is apt to
be excited and rush headlong into
trouble. to do his thinking afterward.
But when he has learned lesson, ne
does not forget It. He doesn't get into
the same kind Of trouble twice.
Now that he had overcome his fear
Of Speedfoot the Coyote, he sometimes
ventured on by himself. for he dearly
loves to 60 poking his nose into all
sorts Of places. He has lively curios-
ity, has Ftp. So It happened that one
day when he was on by himself he
caught sight Of small person moving
In some bushes. Just who 1t was he
couldn't see, but that didn't matter.
With yelp he started for this small
person and dashed into the bushes ex-
pecting that whoever was there would
run and then would follow the excite
ment of chase.
To his great surprise. his would-be
victim didn't run. In fact, he did not
seem to be greatly disturbed. He turned
and faced Flip and the latter saw at
once that he wore q black coat spotted
way. His tail was bushy, black, with
a white tip, and was held almost
straight up. He was about the size OF
Happy Jack Squirrel.
Flip was reminded Of some one he
had known, but at first couldn't think
who 1t was. Then he remembered Jimmy
Skunk. But Jimmy was very much, oh,
very much, bigger than this little fell
low, and Jimmy's coat was not spotted.
but had broad white stripes. And
Jimmy's tail had long, dropping hair.
AIfnnattHnw be kxsyn Achievement
It must be the black and-white coat
that had brought Jimmy to mind. Any
way. this was such o little fellow that
he must be harmless.
Flip began to dance about and bark
and make short ruShes at the little
stranger, growing dreadful threats
Still the latter didn't seem to be afraid.
He didn't run, but held his ground.
Flip prepared to rush in and shake
him TO death. Then he remembered
what had happened when he had tried
and how for days he had been an out
cast OF course, this little fellow
couldn't possibly do such thing to
him as Jimmy Skunk had done. To be-
gin with, he was too small.
STILL" thought Flip, ''it may be well
to flnd out a little more about him.
He can't get away from me now and it
Is just as well to use little caution.
who are you?" he asked.
II don't know that that Is any busi-
ness of yours" replied the little stran-
ger impudently.
"I1l make 10 my business" gfowled
Flip. "I'll shake you to death"
That wouldn't tell you who I am"
replied the little stranger. Anyway, I
don't think you will do anything of the
kind. wouldn't try it IL were you"
why not?" demanded Flip fiercely.
"Oh. just because" replied the little
stranger.
fiercely.
Just because you will be sorry If you
do. and 1t isn't pleasant to be sorry.
Indeed. think you might find 1t very
unpleasant" was the reply.
