He had expected her to scream and grab the reins, and then perhaps' faint, but when she sat beside him as cool! and immovable as marble, Ralphis delight rose beyond all boun-ds. '4You are the best girl ever, he de- clared enthusiastically, when the harness had been 'repaired and the horse had re- covered from its hysterics, then, with sudden tenderness, Haven:t you a differ- ent answer to that question now, Marian r ' L 'And looking him in the eyes, she surrendered. It was almost dark when two young people drove into the little college' town, happily oblivious of everything on earth except each other. As he left her at her door a thundering shout rolled .up the street, C'R.ock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U. ! V7 And then, 'fOne, two, three, ifour, ive!

Ralph smiled dreamily. And so Tom won his game, to-of' he murmured. g E. R. Schaiijfler, '06'.f WESTPORT HIGH SCI-IOOL. FACULTY. iw e MR. S. A. UNDAERWVOOD, Principal. ' MR. A. O.

'CI,ve been reading Poe all afternoon and I ought to translate seven or eight pages of Greek this evening, and write half a dozen letters? c'Lots of things I o-ught to dof re- turned Ralph, but my most pressing duty at present is doing justice to my um- nerf' and arm in arm with his roommate, he went down stairs, leaving the studious Ravens to peace and Poe. iAs they passed they hurled a few derisive remarks con- cerning embryo Pattis into the do-or where the law student -sat tilted back in his chair absorbing the sporting news and crooning to himself in the manner of law students. Raffles, otherwise known as To-in Will- ard, played left-half on the speedy Kan- sas 7Varsity team, and cqnsequently was the idol of the fair C'co-edsv' and the ideal of the Freshies, who pointed him out to one another with whispered admiration. The celebrity's room-mate, Ralph ,Rey- nolds, was a cl-ever, slightly cynical fel- low, whose chief assets, to quote his own, language, were an air of intelligence as- sumed for the benefit of unsuspecting profs, and an alluring grin. Just at present he was head over heels in lo-ve with a certain Miss Marian St. Clair, and so far his efforts had been unavailing. Ik PIC Pk It was eleven o'clock on the night be- fore the team was to leave for N ebraska, as Ralp-h and Raffles politely showed their last visitor out the front door. Well, at last I ya.wned Reynolds, first, the law student, then Sunbeam and then this last pest who thought it a fit opportunity to talk Y. M. C. A. prayer- meetings to us. 'Ye ornamente of ye house is ye guest who frequenteth it.' 'J . Yea, verily I ejaculated his room- mate, then, more seriously, abut, old man, I canft tell yo-u hoiw cut up I feel about your not being able to come up to hin- coln to-morrow. You know I im dead broke or Ijd lend you what you need in a minute, and I know there are plenty of fellows whoid be glad to come up with the cash if you 'd only speak the word? .-.-L,-:..,,..-.-4...-f - - vi Y' Y ' '- 'fHo-wever, I shan't speak the word, you know, responded Ralph with a smile, having too much of sinful pride in my makeup. You ill have to win without my invaluab-le assistance, though I know what a loss it will be. Let is go to bed. And in half an hour they were peaceiuiiy dreaming: Tom, of the Nebraska game, Ralph, of hislady fair. R 3 X PK 'fWell, at last she is consented to go driving again! Little witch, she seems to- take a particular -delight. in keep-ing the once cynical Mr. Reynolds in a state of agitation. fBut when as lady is in the case, you know all other things give placej 'J and thus ending his solilo-quy with his cigarette, Ralph Reynolds stepped in- to the neat runabout which was waiting for him, and drove away to meet destiny -in the shape of Marian St. Clair. To Ralph's,prejudiced eyes, it seemed as if she had ,never looked so charming as on that October afternoon. It was one of those ideal October days, with just eno-ugh life in the air to make it exhilarating, while over the distance hung that so-ft, blue, filmy haze, such as comes only in Indian summer and seems to harmonize the brilliant colors of the autumn leaves. They talked of va.rious things-of the latest college happenings, of the foot-b-all team, the most recent dances, the Junior Prom. And when any particularly bril- iiant leaves or berries caught Marianps eye, Ralph, like a true gallant, jumped out and captured them, he stole a small pumpkin from a iield, he climbed an ap-- ple tree at peril of his neck, while the merciless maid sat by and shrieked with Qaughter. V ' C'You are really becoming quite knight- Qyj' she told him merrily, and he ac- knowledged the compliment with a high- ly appreciative smile. 'fUndoubtedly stealing apples should oe ra.nked among the knightly virtuesj' he told her. Then there was wild excitement when they encountered a large and noisy auto- mobile, and the horse stood on its hind legs an-d polkaed'9 from one side of the

Early in the term a meeting of all the boys interested in athletics wa.s called in the Study Hall. At this meeting Mr. Hull proposed a new game of foot--ball which should embody all the best features of both the association and the American Rugby game. The game was not taken up, however, because of the lack of a grid- iron. When the boys found that there would be no foot-ball they turned to the basket- ball court, and every afternoon for tnree or four weeks one might have seen twelve or fifteen boys working off their superflu- ous energy by hard practice. Many test games were played and finally the follow- ing -team was chosen to represent the school: Grover Carl fCaptainj .. . . ..C' Louis Downs.. .. .. .. . ...bf Frank Sherrill. . . . . . . . .F William Craddock. . . . . . .G Walter Warren.. .. .. .. .. ..G On November '7 our boys just showed some other Missourians by the trining score of 22 to 13. The other Missourians were five young fellows from Lee,s Sum- mit.' The Lee's Summit boys displayed far better team work than we did, but could not throw baskets. If our boys had used mio-re team work the seo-re 'would have been better-looking. I The second ga.me was what is called a walkaway, with the Western Dental Col- lege doing most of the walking. The score was 56 to 5. Be not severe with the boys, however, they played a good game when one considers that the West- ern Dental College team belongs to the university class. On Saturday, December 1, the team went to Lee's Summit and took their med- icine like men, the score was 57 to 22. The team has been greatly handicapped this year in having no place to practice, the annexes being moved on the court. THE CROSS COUNTRY RUN. Despite the bad weather, on Thurs- day, November 29, seven boys started from Forest Hill Cemetery on the first annual cross country run. The course was from Forest Hill Cemetery to Thirty-ninth and Gillham Road, a distance of four miles. Charles Gossard won the race, making the distance in 26 minutes. All the boys did well, as the last one to finish arrived with- in 29 minutes after starting. The roads were very poor, the mud in some places . J -1 v k 5, ., , -.. , . ..... . . .i.... :..-...rig -.
