powerful influence. He could make
things decidedly uncomfortable. And
the red-headed girl who, apparently,
mad been used to nice things, might
not be so interested in him If she
knew he were penniless.
On the other hand, Winthrop,
sr., hadn't expected such re-
action from his son. The boy had
looked serious. The old man re-
gretted his haste. But he was Stub
born and stickler for principles.
He couldn't retract his words, no
matter how much he might want to.
TINE passed Basil continued to
see the red-headed girl and each
time he saw her he loved her more.
But he lacked courage to explain the
situation to his father. If she re-
fused to marry him, he'd feel like
ending it all.
Winthrop, sr., arranged another
meeting with Sarah Mortimer and
daughter. 1t was, he decided, to be
the test. If Basil refused to follow
his wishes this time-well, he'd have
to get under way in taking his drastic
steps.
When Basil heard about the ar
ranged meeting he came to a de-
clslon. He would meet this Elaine
and tell her in front of his father
that he loved another. Then he
would keep an appointment with the
red-headed girl and propose marriage.
mat, he decided, was the only manly
thing to do, and Basil had suddenly
become man.
So with his father Basil went to
the hotel where the meeting had
been arranged. Mrs Mortimer and
Elaine received them in their suite
OF rooms. Basil took one look at
Elaine and almost collapsed.
She had red hair and freckles and
buck teeth. She was about the home
Hest looking creature Basil had ever
seen. Morever, she giggled.
Basil didn't wait for the dinner to
get under way. He made his speech
then and there, then headed for the
door. His father accompanied him
into the corridor.

me. 1 didn't know what 1 was get

than that"

run the show? Basil so thought.
He ceased to think thus when he
met the girl with the red hair and
blue eyes. She was selling kisses at
a charity bazaar. Five dollars kiss.
Basil had only thirty dollars in his
pocket. but he stretched out the six
kisses that amount would buy so that
other customers got tired of waiting.
After the bazaar, he drove the girl
with the red hair to the hotel where
She was staying. He didn't ask her
name; she didn't volunteer it. But
they made date for the next night.
Drunk with emotion Basil went
home. He didn't think of his father
until he saw light burning in the
old mans study. Then he remem-
bered. He knew his father would
never dream of letting his son marry
a girl who sold kisses at a charity
bazaar.
AS he entered the front hall his
father called to him. Basil hesi-
tated, then squared his shoulders and
went toward the voice.

mood. "I've just met an old friend
of mine, son. Sarah Mortimer. She
and her daughter Elaine are spend
ing few days in town. Son, I want
you to meet them. Nothing would
please me more than to see you and
Sarah's daughter married"
RASIL stared. This, he thought, was
the payoff. His father had ar
ranged everything else in his life, but
by golly he wasn't going to pick his
wife!
Dad, you're taking too much for
granted. I can't marry Elaine. L
I'm in love with some one else"
Some one else? Who?"
"I-er-don't know her name"
Il see" Winthrop, ST., rose and
patted his son on the arm. I've ar
ranged a dinner party for tomorrow.
You'll meet Elaine then"
But Basil didn't meet Elaine then.
For the first time in his life he felt
the electrifying qualities of manhood
warming his blood. Instead Of at
tending the dinner party, he held a
clandestine meeting with the red
head. They had swell time to-
gether. BY mutual and silent agree
rnent, they decided not to confide to
each other their Identities. It was
thrilling and romantic and adventur-
GUS to have it thus.
Winthrop, sr., was furious. He
called Basil on the mat. But Basil
stuck out his chin and Grated in his
own behalf He felt as If he'd had a
shot In the arm, and because the
feeling was new and thrilling, his
defiance amazed the old man.

Bob Paffrath
Going Places
With Gophers
REDWOOD HIGH STAR
is SECOND STRING
RIGHT HALFBACK

Redwood Falls residents are
looking forward to seeing Bob
Paffrath, star of the undefeated
1886 Cardinals, perform with the
Minnesota Gophers at Memorial
Stadium, Minneapolis, this Sea-
son. -
Already second string right
halfback, Bob is likely to get a
chance in every game and many
who followed his high school and
Gopher Frosh career feel certain
that he will be in the starting
lineup before the season is many
games old.
Following is Bob Beebe's COM
ment on the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. E. Paffrath, in Sundays Min
neapolis Tribune
"There are some sophomores
who are likely to figure with
some prominence in this seasons
Echrme of things and none is
more likely to figure than one
Bob Paffrath who halls from Red
wood Falls.
"Paffrath, a chunky youngster
built on the lines of the famous
Babe LeVoir. is a right halfback
and at present must be rated right
up behind the regular at that post,
Wilbur Moore.
''The stocky Redwood Falls lad
made a strong impression as
freshman last fall and didn't do
himself any harm during the
spring drills, looking especially
good in the closing exhibition
game.
Although he stands only five
feet nine inches, Bob weighs up
to a good solid ITS pounds (act-
ually 1851 and uses all of it. He
hits hard both on offense and de-
tense and can block which is a
splendid thing in a right half
back. He's one of those quick
shifty ball carriers who squirms,
twists and dances through a brok-
en- field but who also can drive.
"He was installed as the No. 2
right halfback in the opening drill
Saturday and he's likely to stay
right there It's good bet that
he'll get his first taste of big
time competition in the very first
game this Season-the clash with
Washington at Memorial stadium
Just Is days hence"

when he was driven from the
mound and Nelson who succeed

The Appleton-Delhi game look
ed like an easy Appleton victory
for the first six innings as they
acquired an early 8 to 2 lead. In
the seventh the Delhi batting at
tack suddenly broke loose and
when the smoke cleared away six
runs had crossed the plate, Van
Krevelon, Appleton pitching ace,
had been driven from the mound
and the score was tied and 8.
Binger pitching with a very bad
arm was touched for seven hits
but was never hit hard as he
"slowballed" the Appleton bat

Larson was the Delhi batting
star. His pinch single in the fifth
drove in the first two Delhi runs
and his long triple in the seventh
with bags loaded accounted for
three more.

HUTCHINSON MAY BE

CHANCES BRIGHT

Other Little Ten conference
teams have open dates Friday
night as Redwood and New Ulm
blow off the seasons lid here.
Only other encounter before

Springfield-St. James game next
Tuesday at Springfield.

non-conference affairs with
Springfield taking on Madelia,

shall playing Slayton, Sleepy
Eye meeting New Ulm Trinity,
Hutchinson at Litchfield and
Glencoe at Norwocd-Young Amer
lea while Redwood Falls plays
Olivia. On the months final Fri
day, however, most of the teams
have engagements with league
foes.
Reports on prospects from the
member schools are conflicting
but apparently no team will so
viciouSly tear up the turf as Mar
shall's Tigers did last season.
Marshall and Tracy both lost
heavily by graduation but are en-
lowed with several experienced
veterans and some likely men
who didn't quite make it last
season. .r
Hutchinson and Glencoe have
veteran linemen for most of the
bertrls but Coaches Miller and
Roach have similar problems as
far as backfield material is con-
cerned. Hutch, at this stage, looks
particularly formidable.
Coach Woehrle at st. James is
more gloomy than usual over his
returns from last year-six let
termen-but a squad of 48 should
offer some raw material. SPRING
fields backfield proved too strong
for Redwood last season and will
be back intact. His line is John

again this season but Is lettermen
may get the Indians some scalps

port had but two conference foes
booked, st. James and New Ulm,
which eliminates the Fairies from
