When the parents returned they found the hero of the ball ground lying on the lounge with his head wrapped in a silk hand- kerchief. Miss Holden, a beautiful pink in her cheeks, and a decidedly ruffled look on her face, seated demurely in a chair. Why it smells like a harber's shop exclaimed Mrs. Burke beaming on the pair with loving eyes. Have you a head ache Bennie, she said Walking across to the sofa. Miss Holden has cured it, said Ben, 4'Louise come here a minute. P As the beautiful girl approached, the young fellow took her hand and said: I've won another goal mother, in the best game I ever played. i ' Statistics Best Basket-ball Player QBoyJ .

This is the last foot-ball game I'll ever attend, said Mrs. Burke. She fidgeted nervously in her chair and glanced back at her husband. Don't you think we had better go? she asked. No we'll wait 'till the end, replied Mr. Burke decidedly. Miss Holden liked Ben's heroic pluck and altho he had disobeyed her order, she hoped he could hold out. When Bobby came back to the box every body questioned him, except Mr. Burke who sat back and listened to his answers. He ain't hurt much, Bobby remarked coolly. The doctors said he could go on. Then he added to Miss Holden. I told him what you said. Bobby did not state that he had also told his brother not to be sissy and funk the thing if he could hold out. Mr. Bridgeman felt that he was under a cloud. He tried to restore himself to grace by applauding Ben Burke's playing, but could not get up a conversation with Miss Holden. Mrs. Burke would move easily in her chair when she saw Ben go around actively. I should think he would let his hair grow, like those fel- lows who have it so full and bushy, she remarked. It must be a real gofod protection to them. But it 's a shame the way they run into each other. I think it 's rude and rough. They were all restored to fine humor when Ben kicked the ball a clean goal kick and Alton received another triumph of the foot-ball season. That is all except Mr. Bridgeman. Nor was he made iany more com-fortfable when he invited Miss Holden to go to the theatre with him that evening. She airily said: Thanks, 1,111 lawfully sorry but I have other engagements. Mr. Bridgeman lifted his hat, stiiiiy and departed. What a fool a woman makes of herself over foot-ball, he said to him- self, as he made his way through the pushing crowd. After dinner Mrs. Burke said to Miss Holden, My dear, I heard you tell Mr. Bridgeman that you had an engagement are you going out? No indeed, answered the girl, as the color is her cheeks rose a little. Soon after, Mrs. Burke, to her husband 's surprise developed a sudden desire to have him take her and Bobby to the theatre. She looked at him significantly and wrinkled her face in a per- plexed way. Father, I just wanted to give those young things a little time to themselves, she said to her husband as they left the house. if 1 4 ll' St 2? at :lk ik it if 3 47

The Charge of the Light Brigade ' ' Tom, said the minister, touching Tom 's arm as he hurried by, here is a good chance for you. Torn stopped suddenly. What is it? he asked. Professor Newberg writes me that they, the citizens of New York, are going to hold an entertainment in Madison Square Garden. Now Professor Newberg, I understand is sending to different towns 'for inftellilgent bfoys and girls to take parts, and he says that I am to choose one from here. So I am asking you to go. Every b-oy and every girl that does well is to have a two year 's course of study, at the government 's expense, in Europe. Thank you, Mr. Heins, for choosing me, said Tom. Then you will go? I'll decide to-night, answered Tom. That evening Joyce, Tom 's sister, noticed that Tom looked worried, she put her arms about his neck and asked, What's the matter Breril' ' Oh, nothing much. I've something to tell you. All ears, announced Joyce gaily. Well, Mr. Heins has asked me to go to a thing-a-bob up in New York. A what? Keep still for a second and you'll hear. There's to be an entertainment in New York and certain kids are asked to take part. Mr. Heins said that Professor somebody asked him to appoint some one from this town. Mr, Heins lit on me. If a fellow does bully at the entertainment he gets a two year's course in Europe. Tom, you must go. It's well and good for you, to say that. If you were the fellow you'd change your tune. Tom, I don 't consider that you have a right to say any- thing like that. Brer, she added please go. Pshaw! you can give my name to Mr. Heins if you 're set on it. Tell him I'11 try. That's it, cried Joyce jubilantly, I'm going this minute. Tom sat and thought while Joyce was gone. I-he was glad to be alone for a few minutes. Tom and Joyce were twins, their parents had died, leaving them a little money in the bank and a small house in the small western town where they had 49
