rescue Helod from the Dhite tor
the sailor doll has challenged him
to race. The sailor is to take
Helga in his ice boat, and the for
takes the tiny squirrel.
Chapter XIX.
The Race
"HE white fox seemed to be
nightly pleased with the idea
Of racing the sailor in his ice
L boat.
He was so pleased with the idea
that he stopped to brush his long,
white hair and to admire himself in
the mirror.
He started to tie about his neck the
collar Of silver bells that Helga had
given him. But the sailor remembered
that the Queen Of Fairies had told
him he should get those bells So he
said:
That collar may add some weight
and become very tiresome as you run"
Right you are" said the fox and
put them down.
They all trooped out Of the den, the
white fox carrying the tiny squirrel
and the sailor with Helga who was
tying on her ermine cape
There's my boat" said the sailor,
pointing down the hill. They all
walked down the hill to the boat. and
the sailor helped Helga into her seat,
tucking her cape about her feet.
WHEN they were all ready, the
white fox drew line in the snow.
| The white fox toed it, and the sailor
swung his boat along so its bow just
crossed the line.
Were off," growled the fox.
He sprinted across the line and
streaked away across the hills. But
the sailors boat was slow in getting
| started because his sails had to fill
| with the wind. What no, North
Wind" he shouted, Come and help"
The North Wind had been watching
from behind the mountain, so he
came running. He puffed into the
sailors sails until they looked like fat
white mushrooms, and the boat sung
across the snow. Soon it was along
side the fox. He was grinning, his red
tongue hung out and his eyes blaoed
red. But then the boat began to pass
him. He lunged to try to push the
boat over, but the sailor saw him, and
swung out Of his road.
HELGA was SO excited she stood up
in the boat and shouted, Watch
the sails: I'll handle the tiller."
They passed the fox easily and the
last they saw Of him he was so angry
he was bowling his head of.
The sailor and Helga sped along In
the boat, enjoying the ride.
Finally the sailor said, with q little
admiring smile:
Il must say you took hold Of the
boat well"
This is wonderful" said HelRa.
I've always wanted to sail, and I'm
so glad I'm free of the fox"

- Navy, unofficial Eastern

recognition today by whipping gal
liant Princeton eight in a driving fin
ish on placid Lake Carnegie.
The unconquered Midshipmen, who
set back Columbia last week on their
native Severn, met the closing chal-
lenge of the Princeton varsity oars
men to sweep to one-length victory
in the IA mile race. The time, 9
minutes 246 seconds, was II seconds
behind the course mark set by Har-
ward, but was considered good in

Navy Wins Going Away.

THE Naval Academy boat, whose
coach, Charles (Buck) Walsh,
rates as one of his best products,
held slight lead early in the race,
but both Princeton and Syracuse
closed the gap at the mile -and-one-
half mark
While Syracuse's untried crew drop
ped behind, Princeton. rowing its last
home race for Coach Gordon Skies,
who retires in June, made its bid
300 yards from the finish line Stroke
Fred Warner of Teaneck, N. j., pushed
the Tiger boat almost to the fore,
but Navy raised its beat to trim
36 and won going away.
Stroked by Vincent E. Schumacher,
170-pound second clasSman from Kali
amazoo, Mich, the Navy varsity boat
displayed tremendous run, although
its stroke beat was held between 80
and 33 for the major part of the race.
The Princeton varsity was timed in
9:28.6, while Syracuse was clocked
in 1868.

slow to start, made a gallant rally to
come from behind and nip Penn by
four-flfths second. Columbia was a
poor third, five lengths behind the
winner. Times: Yale, 8:06 3-5; Penn,
