and not daring to look back, he guessed that he was being closely pursued. I he twenty-five yard line passed underfoot, the twenty yard line seemed to rush by. The strain of this run was nearly unendurable, still he kept on. He passed two more white marks, and still the goal posts seemed rods away. he pounding ceased, he felt fingers grasping for h:s vest, the fingers slipped and then closed upon his legs as he stumbled then fell, striking his head upon the frozen ground with the ball still tightly huddled next to his side and under his arm A dull sound like the roll of distant thunder resounded in his ears and ht knew not what happened next. Awakening, he found h mself almost buried in cushions, and saw the smiling face of the captain looking down at him. I he coach and a few others were present in the room lie was told that he had made a touchdown by a margin of four inches, and he knew what it meant. Two games of the seiies with Fairville had been won and the third tied. Fox saw the captain step toward him, and felt a small piece of flannel pressed into his hand. He knew what it was and smiling, he dropped back upon the pillows for a well deserved’ rest A. S., -16. THE INN-KEEPER’S STORY. One of my recent experiences as traveling salesman, w: s. remember, that of being obliged to remain over night in a very small and thinly populated village, near the southern part of Kentucky. As I entered the little inn. the only one in town, my whole attention was riveted on the strange gaze that the landlord cast in my direction. From the first time I saw him, until I left the next morning, 1 was deeply impressed by the strange, soulful expression on his countenance. I was the only guest at the inn that night, and after supper 1 went into the sitting-room, and fell into conversation with the proprietor. As I have said befoie, there seemed to be something very strange, indeed, about his personal appearance, fie was tali had dark hair. ?nd eyes with a rather languid expression in them, and a smooth, rather sallow face. His present attitude displayed to a large extent much of his former grace and' dignity. 1 had been in his Company for some nrnutes when he arose took a small bottle from the shelf and a small hypodermic syringe from a neat leather case.

MENOMONIE, 0; MONDOVI, 13. The football game Saturday, October 4th, was a thing of beauty to local fans. Menomonie had a good team, but our boys outplayed them decisively all the way and won a hard-fought battle 13 to 0. 1 he ball was in Menomonie’s territory most of the time, but our boys were unable to score in the first half, although they threatened a number of times. In the second half, with the ball near Menomonie’s goal, they fumbled, and Humphrey, our rotary snowplow, took the ball and sprinted for a touchdown, after which Borst kicked a goal. After a series of plays our boys took the ball down the field and Borst went over for a touchdown in the last minute of play, although he failed to kick goal. Our team played their usual hard, clean and steady game and surely deserved to win. Menomonie was disposed to play rough after they found that they were up against the real thing.” Lineup: F. B.—Guy, Humphrey Q. B.—Howard L. H.—Borst R H.—Lockwood C.—Bond L. G.—Connett R. G.—Knudson L. T.—Brobst, M. R. T.—Butler L. E.—Scott R. E.—Throne CHIPPEWA FALLS, 25; MONDOVI, 0. Saturday, October 18th, our high school eleven left for ( hippewa Falls to meet the team there. The score does not at all indicate the strength of the two teams. In the first scrimmage, Harry Throne, our right end. dislocated his shoulder and broke his collar-bone, which discouraged our boys from the start. Charles Martin, who broke a rib a short time before, substituted, and played a good game. The Chippewa team was well coached, and by using a trick play ran up a score of 25 in the first half. The second half our boys more than held their own against the Chippewa team, having the ball in their territory most of the time, but were unable to score. Stanley Lockwood hurt his leg, and Lamb substituted; also Edward Knudtson broke his collarbone in the last scrimmage. Our only regret is that we didn’t meet Chippewa Falls again.
