MY ANGEL UNAWARES

Suggested by an old poem) You were my angel unawares knew not love until you came. And breathed prayer-immortal words As if the muses knew my name. Alone with faith. sought the peace That comes from comfort and repose You knelt and touched the silver strings: The answer came and hope arose. And you sweet angel of past years Have brought me blessing and new grace; Steadfast you walk with joyful feet, No care has touched your lovely face.

And there was Lalle Harrington in white
frock, hatless, her curls rather ruffled, like a
wind blown angel.
nothing intelligent to say. Suddenly he hated
the Girl Friend, who stood near by watching
them with her little crooked smile.
So Hockey fell in love, and knew he was in
love- and had shrewd suspicion he hadn't
chance, and hoped he would have the courage
to make the best of it, and that was that.
He began to rather like the Girl Friend, be-
cause she was 50 obviously on his side. Her
name he gathered, was Mary Brown. Her
clothes were rather nondescript, and she had
low, pleasant voice. 1t was soon evident she was
definite ally. 1t was she who asked him to dine
ashore at Alden, and then melted away, leaving
him alone with Lallie.
They played games together had long talks
on deck, danced together, Lallie's soft curls
brushing his cheek And with heavy heart,
Hockey began to think of his prospects, of the
little he had to offer her.
He hadn t meant to lay his cards on the table
quite so soon 1t was Lallie herself who brought
matters to head, the night before they passed
from the Red Sea into the blue warmth of the
Indian Ocean. They were standing side by side
in the PROV, watching the little waves slip by,
tipped with green PHOSPHORUS. Hockey looked
at her profile, delicate against the velvet of the
night and he said huskily: Wed better go In.
She smiled at him. Why"
Because otherwise shall kiss you, and you
might be angry, and then I'd be sorry
Il wouldn't be angry she said, softly. For
Hockey the stars went out. and the night was
turned to glory in his heart. For this could
mean only one thing
He talked to her seriously next day, when he
was camer. 1--WE nothing much to offer you,
darling. I've never done much in the way of
oney-making And then getting i'll was rather
a setback
We'll soon fix all that. You see" she laughed
softly, II have many useful friends.
But your useful friends may not like me,
Lalie. I'm rather self-made.'
She laughed at that. Il thought as soon as
saw you, you were the most distinguished-look-
ing man on board. So did Mary
And thought you'd not notice me at all.
What will your father have to say about it?'
Lallie said idly, Il have always done as
wished"
All the same, there were nights when Hockey
lay awake wishing she weren't rich and impor-
tant and sought after In way, it hurt man s
pride. He said as much to the Girl Friend, and
she smiled her crooked smile at him, and SAID
it didn't matter fig.

she would have any time to
spare for the ships doctor, a
pennilesS fellow who was only
that minute CeaSlng to look
like a famine case in the last
stages? No, said Hockey. And
no, again.
If he hadn't had that queer
sensation in his throat when
ever he saw her, he would
have fallen into easy conver-
sation with her at the rail, as
they leaned over it at Fort
Said, watching the itinerant
merchants peddling wares
from boats.
Instead, it was her Girl
Friend who fell into easy con-
versation with him. Hockey
had noticed her once or twice.
She was a brunette with
glasses. She had a crooked
smile that always seemed to
be seeing a private joke. She
wasn't particularly popular
on board; the little pink
Purser hated her.
IF I'm nice to her, she
may introduce me presently
thought Hockey, with fast
beating heart. He was nice.
He took a lot of trouble with
her. He even took a walk with
her upon the upper deck.
Don t waste time with
h'r," said the little pink Fur-
ser. She's no good. Thinks a
sight too much of herself;

asked her. She's nothing but
a sort of paid companion to

The long lazy days in the Indian ocean were
like pleasant dream. Hockey could not say
just why arriving at Colombo was vaguely like
waking up in the morning. The island stretched
its palm -fringed shores about them Little
breezes, cinnamon laden, stirred the air.
They we're to drive together out to Mount
Lavinia Lallie wore soft frock with little
frills. She was so lovely Hockey heart seemed
to burn up as he looked at her. Mary melted
away in her usual fashion, leaving them on the
terraces over the sea, with the palm trees and
the moon.
The ship remained three days in Colombo
The two girls stayed on shore. but Hockey had
to go back to the ship, since lascars have way
of dropping themselves down holds, and need
ing medical attention. 1t was on his way back
the next morning that he picked up local
newspaper.
Malaria Epidemic Increasing. Urgent need
for doctors Up Country. Volunteers asked for"
he read.
Then all in minute, Hockey knew why
arriving at Colombo had seemed like waking up
from pleasant dream. He had been, for almost
amonth idly dreaming Now reality was knock
ing at the door And he knew without a doubt
that there is no such thing as Chance, cut that
the hand of Fate pushed the pawns here and
there at will. In his case, the hand OF Fate
had been Neil - and the reason, Malaria. 1t
was his subject. He had specialized in it.
He went back and told the Captain.
There's chap in the Second Saloon, Peter
son, who will be only too glad to take over from
you" the Captain told him.
Hoo ey drove out to Mount Lavinia, oddly
at peace. Now there remained only Lal1e
Money was no object to her. Perhaps she would
see, as he did, the finger of Fate in all this Per
haps she, too, would regard it as mission, and
stay with him, and help. The thought sent the
hot blood coursng madly through his veins.
Love and work, the only two things in life that
mattered, and he might have them both.
Lallie was sitting on the terrace under the
trees, beside the ocean. He went straight to her
and told her what he had done.
Her face fell The brightness died out of her
ewes. "Oh, Hookeyp' she said, and her voice
was hurt, like the voice of disappointed child.
And was so looking forward to the rest of the
journey with you!'
so was |, darling. But this is serious. You
can see from the papers what they're up against.
I've seen the authorities. They are frightfully
shorthanded."
She stood very still in his arms. He waited,
but she did not say anything. He whispered,
brokenly: "Lallie, stay with me-
She said, quickly, "Oh, couldn't do that.
Not now. The packing -"

MARY would do the packing" he told her.
"Oh, l couldn't do that Father would be SO
annoyed. Besides, living out here Il hadn't
thought of living out here. wanted you to get
practice In Harley Street. You see, it's all so
difficult
He held her close He thought: Its shame
to hurry her must be patient. It's asking
lot of any girl in her position" He said: Think
it over, darling heart. You 60 on to Singapore.
Perhaps on your way back, you'll come to me-
You'll have had time then, to think it over.
She said, brokenly, "Oh Hockey, must you
do this?"
He never had any doubts about it. Eyes,
darling, l must"
But l thought you loved me better than
anything in the world?"
He held her little away from him, and
looked down into those pansy-blue eyes.
Would you care much about me if loved
you better than anything in the world Lallle?"
She clung to him. "Oh, don't know. No,
l suppose not Only hate this place. l wish
we had never come to it. Oh, Hockey, you've
spoilt it all 80"
The Girl Friend had been swimming. Shecame
up the cement pathway under the palm trees,
putting on her glasses.
Hockey isn't coming on any farther with
us. He's volunteered to help with the malaria
epidemic Up-Country," Lallie announced.
The Girl Friend said enthusiastically: Good
for him That's rather splendid
Tiresome the way the wrong people 80 often
have the right idea.
Later, when Lallie had left them alone for
moment, he laid hand on her ann. Il wanted
her to stay with me, Mary. But she won't. Try

So the Bartonfeld sailed away into the blue

deck, and Hockey, with lump of lead instead

water But he knew now, without a doubt that
everything was going to be all right, and that

CHAPTER 80

THE COMPLEXION Of the
scene at Villa Mimosa changed
the day that Alec Garland left,
The rooms were filed with guests
Rosa added vague number OF
relatives to her staff to see that
trays were served in the morn
ings, that bathing dress was
freshly prepared for the odd hours
demanded by the guests. Dinner
on the nights when Mari and
her guests did not dine at neigh
boring villas or one of the hotels
was a formal affair served at
10 o'clock.
Mari sent to Paris for the mo-
tor that she had long since pur-
chased. There was an American
made station wagon in the garage.
The wine cellar was stocked and
the cocktail hour was observed as
formally as it had been disre-
garded during the first two happy
weeks.
The garden resounded, not with
the quiet conversation of two
people deep in contentment, but
with the shrill laughter and high
well-bred voices of men and wom-
en- at a typical smart Riviera
house party. For Mari had sum-
imoned her gayest friends from
Paris to finish off her holiday on
the superficial note with which
she felt it should have begun.
She put away her denim over
alls and brought out her most
sophisticated satins, her smartest
beach toys, her most dashing cos
tunes.
She rose early, and after
spending the morning working
with Letitia or sketching, and
glad for the work, she Joined her
guests for luncheon at one of the
beaches near the hotels.
The afternoon was spent in idle
gossip with these grownup chill
dren who moved about the CONT
nent with the seasons. Evenings,
after their late dinner, there was
always a party-champagne, mu-
sic, the flash of jewels, the echo
of synthetic laughter. And Mari's
was the gayest.
The contentment of simple
things was not meant for her.
That was the morning after
Alec Garland had told her that he
had a wife in America. She had
been surprised then that the news
had angered and not saddened
her. She saw him as a 3ikeable
weak person, which he was. But
she saw herself playing the part
Of a fool And worse-for she
saw herself as a lovesick girl
not sick with love for Alec but
sick with love for love.
She had to readjust her values
then, call upon. her resources to
take stock Of herself. The final

Chapel Hill, Sept. 3-Faced with one
of the smallest squads in the instltu-
TONS history, Coach Ray wolf mas
started the tedious task of moulding
the 1887 University of North Carolina
football team.
Only SO candidates reported for the
Tar Heels first practice of the sea-
son. Others, however, were expected
later. But the general consensus is
that Coach Wolf will have approx
mately 40 candidates from which to
select the 1897 team. Of the three
dozen aspirants reporting, there were
10 lettermen, II reserves and IL sopho-
mores.
The ten lettermen are Andy Ber-
shak, end; Henry Bartos and Steve

MONDAY TO MILLER
High School Mentor Opens
1887 Drills at League
Park at 10 A. M.

Bing Miller has sounded the call for
griditon candidates at Henderson

Miller desires that everyone seek
ing a place on the team to be out
for first drill. He plans to carry the
largest squad ever this year, and the
using of the knife will be slow pro-
cess, giving every one chance to de-
VelOp.
Equipment will be issued during
the week, and an intra-squad scrim-
mage will be held the latter part of
the week, likly Friday.

sum OF them did not add up salts
factorily. Many women would
have envied her all the qualities
she had; her independence, her
| ability, her financial security, her
beauty and her charm. She
doubted the strength of the lat
ter.
What good was charm to q
woman who couldn't use that
charm to get the only thing that
women want?
She was not thinking of Alec
when she asked herself that ques-
ton.
AS for Alec, the moment that
she saw him in the new light in
which he had presented himself,
the spell was broken. She had
laughed then at her own ridicu-
lous self. Mari Barat, destined
for world fame, incoming like a
school girl, holding hands in the
moonlight, visualizing a dreamy
future and herself with a market
basket over her arm saying,
"Send it to Mrs. Alec Garland,
Peachtree road"
Suddenly a small white house
came before her eyes, a kitchen
where she would cook three meals
a day. There'd be no Rosa there
to concoct a lunch to serve on a
sun-splattered terrace. She shiv-
cred delicately picturing herself
washing Alec's clothes. Not for
her!
In Paris she had q shop four
stories high where she was queen.
She had small house and cool
and fragrant rooms. She was
free and there was no one to dis
turb the smooth, luxurious pattern
of her present life. She wished
that she had not leased the villa
for a month. She wanted to be
back at work. And she had plans.
She would travel to Egypt, to the
North Cape, a fortnight in Swift
zerland!
And in the meantime, she would
wire Mark to join her for her last
few days. Perhaps it would be
wise to have Larry Holk come
down. Perhaps he should start
publicity in motion for her mod
els for the next summers trade
in America. Her own costumes
would introduce several features
she meant to incorporate.
Thusly did she put all Of her.

herself into the machine that she
had become and departed from so
briefly.
Larry came Immediately, and in
his wake there were photogra-
piers and interviewers.
"Who is she ?" hundred voices
asked when the, photographers
surrounded the svelte figure on
the beach-the stunning, slim
woman in a daring bathing suit
