Ten minutes later when he returned she was sleeping, with one brown arm thrown across her breast, the other limply crooked above her head. The hair, disarranged by the storm, fell in tangled strands over her shoulders and neck. Unmindful of the shriek of the wind and tumultuous roar of the waves, he sat by her side, silently watching her comely face and youthful figure, his eyes glowing with yearning desire. He stretched forth a hand to touch her arm, to stroke her hair, to caress a cheek, to clasp a limp hand in his and press It to his lips; but he did not touch her, nor permit his fingers to come in contact with the bed or clothes. Instead he drew back slowly, as if actuated by some subtle force that was stronger than his newly awakening love brushing his eyes with a trembling hand. His face grew suddenly pale and drawn, adding years to his age. As a fugitive from justice, with a price on his head, he had no right to touch her no right to drag her into the net that entangled him.

The schooner was laboring heavily in the sea, rolling and plung-frilike an old bull walrus, every learn groaning under the strain. The gale was playing havoc with what was left of the sails and rigging. This means her finish, he muttered. She can never ride through second storm." He returned to the cabin where Rose had partly revived her father through the liberal use of his favorite stimulant. He was far from being dead. It took more than a Carib's bludgeon to kill the doughty New England skipper, bom and bred on the water, giving and receiving blows as a part of his daily life for half a century or more.

The winds blowing great guns, and the seas are playing the devil with the wreckage using it as a ram to batter in the sides." Yes, but we can stop that. Were you ever a sailor? Dick shook his head. Nothing but an amateur. I could sail a yacht, and maybe qualify for a second-ratseaman. Thats about all. Then I'll take command, she replied quietly. You'll take orders e from me" Aye! Aye!

The combination of Ell and Levi can be sensational, Levi being Levi Jackson, the dark antelope who gives promise of a big year. In Barzilauskas, Yale has one of the best linemen that ever wore the Blue, looking back to such stars as Pudge HefTelflnger, Eddie Glass, Gordon Brown and a long parade of others from forgotten years. But Jackson and Barzilauskas are not the only two Yale stars. The alert Odell has one of the biggest and most capable lines that Yale has known in years, plus a backfield that might easily give Eli her best team since Bill Mallorys outfit back in 1923. Yale also would be a match for the prides of the South and the pick of the West. You can add Lou Little and the Columbia Lion to this group. Littles Lions won eight out of nine games last fall, losing only to Pennsylvania. This season Columbia has an even better team with Kasprzak added lo Rossides and Kusserow in the backfield, a speed back, a power back and one of the best passers that ever chucked a pigskin.

McKeever, like Lit- tle, is another coach who can lose three games and still look good Which reminds me of an interview- I once had with Bob Zupnke at Illinois. How do things look? I asked.
