AMES, Iowa, Apr. Su.-Lawrence Costigan, freshman trackster at Iowa State college, can strut his clippings until he encounters Bob Simpson, coach of the Cyclones. To Simpson, he's just another run ner.
 Last year at Buffalo Center, la. high school Costigan won nine out Of 10 events in the North Iowa conference meet and earned the title of the 'one-man track team ,

 WITH TWO MEN ON TO
 WIN GAME FOR GIANTS

BOSTON, Mass, April 30.-Mel- yin Ott, Giants right fielder, pro- vided the blow that gave New York a 4 to 1 victory in their first ap- pearance in Boston this season and awarded Carl Hubbell his third straight triumph on the mound.
 Ott belted a home run with two men on bases in the fifth inning to provide a grand climax to four run rally that broke up the south paw pitching duel between Hubbell and Ed Dutch" Brandt.

Mo, high school many years ago he not only won the 100 and 220- yard dashes, but also took the high hurdles, high jump, broad jump, hop-step and jump. discus, and standing board jump.
 Besides that he set a new coun- ty record in every event he won.
 Later Simpson, at the University of Missouri, won the Missouri Val ley conference championships in the broad jump and both hurdles for three years, and became an Olympic hurdler.
 So, if there's any strutting to be done perhaps Costigan can take a lesson from his coach.

him rather a brute"
AIMS voice rose in vehement denial why
did everybody say that? They didn't under
stand him. He was high-Strung and he wasn't
used to idlenesS." She shivered little. Hulda
watched her keenly. HE had Just come back
from Africa when I met him, you know, and
he stayed here for my sake. He had been
doing such wonderful work there. He had
several hundred thousand acres up in the in
terror and thousands Of natives working for
him. When he talked about how his word
was law, how he was the only white man in
that tremendous wilderness. could just see it
all, see him there like king He like
that, Aunt Hulda, like a king!"
He seems to have talked like one" Hulda
murmured
1T made me feel dreadful to have him say
that had stopped his career, because I'd have
been glad to bury myself anywhere with him.
I'm sure he knew it made me miserable, but
mis- face would light up when he described
the life out there. When he felt good he

believe that he was cruel at heart"
Somehow" Hulda said quietly, II can"
We'll" said Ann, unheeding. her voice sharp
in its effort TO be casual, in the end there were
other women"
so that's why you divorced him"
Ann stared in amazement. why no, Aunt
Hulda, thought you knew. He divorced me-

"Oh, of course, I sued. But he wanted it."
Aunt Hulda frankly puzzled But
can't understand"
Why yes 1 bored him. you see. A woman
like you might have held him"
No, thanksi"
Well, it's all over" Her voice was barely

it's my fault; he's probably lost touch with
things by now" She rose, began restlessly
pacing the floor.
IN THE evening Hugh Morgan walked briskly
! up the narrow little path that wound through
Huldas garden.
Here comes your young man, Ann" Hulda
called. "A fine hgger Of a man he is, tooP
Ann appeared momentarily at the head OF
the stairs. He thinks you're a spinster Of
uncertain age"
Hulda, wearing long lustrous green dinner
gown of no uncertain cut, snorted
CoUR weeks slid silently by under high
! July sun. 1t was very dry Some slow
burning fire seemed to be at work. Yellow
patches began to appear in the flowers Along
the dusty country roads and finally even the
fields became streaked with dry brown. Brooks
dwindled to almost invisible trickles through
moSsy stones
Aunt Hulda was wearily ready to admit she
was discouraged. One divorce could make or
break woman and she was beginning to feel
that AIMS was hopeless, for the simple
reason that Ann was lost in her illusion of Bill
Hobart. Hugh Morgan, for instance, was as
nice young person as Aunt Hulda had met,
put in spite of his persistent efforts to divert
Ann, for he was obviously head over heels, she
grew pale and languid.
Like the earth about her which would be
MISUNDERSTANDING again-after a cooling
rain so would Ann be transformed, Hulda
knew, could she accept Hugh'S love-
Ann said, Il promised Hugh I'd walk up
through the pine woods this afternoon. Do
you mind if leave you?"
mo, of course not" said Hulda, ignoring
the utter lack of interest in AIMS voice. She
went indoors later, where, after several minutes
of intense thought, she added Bill Hobarts
name to a list labeled party"
Hugh slipped into the shade of elm and
waited for Ann. 1t was always like this, he
reflected oppressive excitement before she
came, then the delight of being with her. but
in the end that sense of unreality. Her di-
vorce. That husband of whom they had never
spoken, whose name he had not even heard
He was like wall between them.
Ann joined him a few minutes later and
her presence beside him did something to the
quiet air like music.
You're swell to walk with, Ann" he said.
You're fun, too, Hugh"

couldn't help it if that sounded silly.

He turned quickly to her. He hadn't hoped
that it was like that for her, too
Ann, couldn't we--?"
"No." The heavy syllable fell between them.
II can't love any one now, Hugh. I wish I'd

Hugh took long breath. 'T wish you'd

Hugh looked up Sorry. It's better, don't

"Oh, perhaps"

took herself to task. Face it, Ann, you're

from Hulda.

I don't believe her divorce is agreeing with
her!"
she thought "I haven't been that way since
the year before married Bill Hobart. Hudas
right. There's nothing like long rest in
the country and little male companionship.
I wish Hugh were here"
Hulda passed her at that moment. "You
look" she drawled, like an irked uuckman in
a traffic jam. Go ahead, utter q few oathS.
How far can you spit?"
Ann was at the refreShment table when
some one stole up behind her and uttered
loud, threatening "Boo"
1t was Hugh of course grinning. blushing
furiously and looking absurdly happy to see
her. They both talked at once, and laughed
a little Historically.
