'r H E A R I E 1. 'Gbe Double lbictorgft O Agnes, I believe I know why Frances will not try for first team, said Alice Davis to her friend, Agnes Lewis. One day last week Frances and I were sitting in one of the alcoves of the cloak room studying our Latin, when Marie Brown and Daisy Dunne came in. They were so intent on talking that they did not notice us, and sat down so near that we could hear everything that they said. Marie and Daisy commenced talking about the coming basket-ball game with Monroe College. You know that Marie has always been jealous of Frances because she is a better player. Daisy said she thought Frances would get on first team again this year. and Marie said sar- castically, 'Oh, yes, I suppose she will, as everybody is partial to her be- cause she has money. There are other girls who can play just as well as Frances, but of course they stand no chance as long as she wants to play on first team.' Before long Daisy and Marie left, but it was very little studying that Frances and I did after that. I could see that Frances was very much hurt and I felt like telling Marie Brown what I thought of her. I believe- that is the reason why Frances will not even try for first team, as she is very sensitive and never pushes herself forward where she thinks she is not wanted. Agnes and Alice separated with more sober faces than usual, for they both thought a great deal of Frances, and resented anything that was said against her. It would mean a great loss to the team, even probable defeat if Frances did not play. I-Ier alleged reason was lack of time, and she sup- posed no one guessed her real reason. Marie Brown was given Frances' old place on the team as forward. Some doubt was felt as to the outcome of the game with Monroe College if Frances did not play. If the Glenwood High School girls were defeated it would mean the loss of the championship pennant, which they had held for two successive years, and if won this time it would be theirs permanently.

THE ARIEL the spring revived him, and he lay quiet, resting. But he turned his eyes to the face on the mountain and smiled as he gazed, so that the Indian gained courage to ask, Is it a new saint, padre P The padre smiled again as he answered, Yes, Pedro, a new saint. And he added softly, My Santa Ana. Then he died, and the Indian, grieving, buried him there near the spring, and, having marked the place with his wooden crucifix, prayed to the new saint and returned sadly to the Mission of San Diego. The padres are gone and their missions are falling in decay. In these southern valleys another people Hourishes, a people speaking another tongue and almost forgetting the Franciscan friars. But even in the new language some old names have survived, and Californians know as the mount San Antonio the beautiful snow-capped peak which overlooks the valley of Santa Ana.

THE ARIEL When on the day of the game the opposing teams lined up, amidst the encouraging yells of their enthusiastic supporters, it looked as if it would be a closely contested game. Promptly at 2 o'clock the referee called the game and the players took their positions and the contest began. The college girls got the ball at the first play and after some quick work made a goal. At the next play the High School girls got the ball, and had very nearly made a goal when Marie Brown accidentally stepped over the line. The sharp-eyed linesman immediately,called a foul. The college forward standing at the regulation fifteen feet from the goal, threw the ball and hit the basket. This made the score three to nothing in favor of Monroe College. The ball again started at center and the High School girls getting it carried it swiftly down towards the goal. just then the whistle blew for the end of the first half. After a rest of ten minutes, the teams returned, ready to play with renewed vigor. The High School girls got the ball and sent it speeding toward their goal. Marie Brown secured the ball and easily threw it into the basket, but in throwing it she fell and sprained her ankle. The score now stood three to two in favor of the college girls. Frances McDonald, the best of the substitutes, was asked to take her place. At first Frances was tempted to refuse. Her first thought was, I do not care if they do lose the game. They did not want me to play on first team, so why should I help them P But Frances' better self overcame her selfishness, and her pride in her school made her forgetthe slights of the other girls. So Frances went in as substitute, and the game continued. The Glenwood girls soon made another score, thus making them one point ahead of the Monroe girls. The next point was made by the college girls. The score now stood five to four in Monroe College's favor, with one minute left in which the Glenwood girls could win the game. The spectators were doing their best to encourage the girls. From
