Just a Word or Two --— By FRED S. HUNTER. Jacques Renault, the famous Cana dian mounted policeman, has come out with a public announcement that nothing is further from his mind than a fistic meeting with Harry Wills, pseudo stevedore. With the assistance of the glib tnngued I.eo Flynn, sometimes known as the millionarie manager, Mr. Renault explains at some length -—>iot less than 1,500 words—how come this is. Summed tip, however, what Renault takes 1,500 words to sav is that he values his physical welfare too greatly, for the time be ing at least, to risk getting into close communication with any double bar relled charges of dynamite. Wills may have been no great stt vedore, but he still packs a wicked wallop in either mit, and Leo Flynn is too crafty a mentor to permit a dividend-paying meal ticket to stray off in the wrong direction. Rest assured that Renault's op ponents will he selected with zealous care for the next few months. <■ _ "Notre Dame wouldn't have scored if Dawson hadn't put in a string of substitutes." How many times have you heard that since Saturday? Yes? We thought so. Of course, it's purely speculation— perhaps Notre Dame would have scored against the regulars, it is even possible two touchdowns might have been made—but at any rate, why did Dawson send in those sub stitutes? Two reasons at least; may be a half dozen mure. In the first place, remember that a successful football coach has more on his mind than the game of the moment. He has subsequent games to think about—and next year. What w ls he to do without capable substi tutes in those subsequent games if i injuries remove his regulars from the lineup? And how is he to have capable substitutes unless they are given competitive experience? And what is he to do next year when some of his regulars are graduated? In the secorfd place, you may have noted, if you are one of those so fortunate as to have seen the game, that as the contest progressed the Notre Dame athletes became slightly more enthusiastic and mor@ eager in their play. Bluntly, they began to rough-house a bit—a perfectly natur al eventuality when a team that ex pected to win begins to lose. In fair ness to the Hoosiers it must be ad mitted that Nebraska under similar circumstances probably would have behaved the same way. juu nave anoiner ample reason for Dawson’s substitutions. Vew men, fresh and vigorous, would be better able to withstand punish ment, and at the same time the scri ms injury of a second string man is not ro disastrous as that of a regular. Dawson may have other reasons to ' ff<*r to Justify his action, but these two are a sufficiency. Eddie Kane, the bright young man ager of Thomas Gibbons, has decided 1 bust info the “important money’’ lass. Teat's what Shelby and a.few eeks of vaudeville have done. On the train from Omaha to Lin " >!n Saturday, Kane in a moment of freshing frankness declared his be l ef that a match between Georges (’arpentier and Gibbons would draw W i ''730,000 gate. Imagine that! It seems incredible, but maybe Kane's right. At any rate Eddie is no piker. Also it means there will be no meeting between Gibbons and Car pentier this winter, Madison Square Garden holds only 14,000, and that's the biggest Indoor arena in the coun try. So Tommy will continue merrily'at his vaudevilling—$2,500 a week for a little rope skipping, etc., isn’t to bo sneezed at—and about the time the mow begins to melt next spring the nm-tom battery will be brought into lotion, Tex Rickard will grip a fresh igar in his teeth and a palpitating world will be advised that it will be accorded the raro privilege of wit nessing a contest between Messrs. Gibbons and Carpentier under a cerulean sky in one of Mr. Rickard’s specially built open-air arenas along In June or July at about 25 seeds per copy. Then in June or July the cash cus tomers will break down the fences trying to get Into the park, P. T. FJarnam will roll over in his grave, Jack Dempsey will laugh aloud and Mr. Kane and Mr. Jack Kearns will be over in a corner figuring out Just how much of a strong-arm Rickard will st#nd for on a Labor day date.

Dave Noble, the 192 pound flash of the Dusker backfield, whose 24 yard dash off tackle and his catch of a diffi cult forward pass netted both touch downs against the Irish, is on crutches. lis sustained a badly bruised ankle and part of a bone Is chipped. It la not a serious* Injury, however, but It will keep him out of the Ames game next Saturday. The Husker'g surprising reversal of form against the Irish gave them a momentary place in the limelight, but they realize that the only man ner in which they can gain recogni tion Is by trimming Chick Meehan’s undefeated warriors from Syracuse. And that ie exactly what they have In mind. It was Syracuse that hum bled Nebraska last season, when the Huskers occupied the same vaunted position to which Notre Dame bad been elevated previous to Saturday’s game. Coach Dawson put the Huskers through a light workout Monday to take out the stiffness of Saturday's game. Roland Locke, sophomore back, who subbed Captain Lewellen when the laterr was out with in juries, will probably be shot Into the breach caused by Noble’s Injury. Gophers Resume Training Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. 12.—An intensive drive to fit the University of Minnesota football squad for the game with Iowa university here next Saturday will start today. Coach Spaulding said all efforts will be made to break the string of five Iowa victories over Minnesota next Saturday. The Hawkeyes are said to have a weight advantage over Minnesota and a strong defense. It Is said, however, that the Iowa at tack Is inferior to their offense in former years. *SOW PI, A VI\G—2120 AM) N(20 GRACE LARUE Internatlnnnl Star of Son* WILLIAM KBS M CI DE KEREk'JARTO Hoyal Ylollnlat Ylrtnoao John T.

Mickey slipped behind Douglas' chair, knelt on one knee, and leaned to see what Peaches desired of him. She drew her handkerchief from her waist ribbon, rubbed it across his forehead, looked at the spot with frowning Intentness, rubbed Hgain, and then dropping the handkerchief, laid a hand on each side of his head, bent it to her and kissed the spot fervently; then she looked him in the eyes and said with solicitous hut en gaging sweetness: "Mickey, I do wish you would ba more careful what you get on yoijr face!" Mickey drew back thrilled with de light, but extremely embarrassed. "Ah a-ah you fool little kid!” he mut tered, and could not look at his friends. Watching, Douglas almost shouted, while the flush deepened on Miss Winton's cheeks. Peter began talking to help the situation, so all of them joined in. "You are making improvements that look very Interesting around here," said Douglas to Mrs. Harding. "We are doing our level best to evolve a sanitary, modern home for all of us, and to set an example for our neighbors," she said quietly. "We always got along very well as we were, but lately, we have found we could have things much more con venient, and when God gave us two more dear children, we needed room for them, and comforts and appliances to take rare of our little new daughter right. When we got started, one thing led to another until we are pretty well torn up; but we've saved the best place for her, and the worst is over.’’ "Yes we are on the finish now." said Peter. "I did think of taking her and going to my sister's," continued Mrs. Hard ing, "but Peaches isn't accustomed to meeting people, while Mickey and I both thought being among strangers and changing beds and food would be wrorse for her than the annoyance of remodeling; then too, I wanted very much to see the work here done as I desired. At first I was doubtful about keeping her, but she doesn't mind in the least; she even takes her afternoon naps with hammers pounding not so far from her-” "Gee, there Is no noise and jar here to compare with Multlopolis." said Mickey. "She's all right, getting stronger every day." Peaches spread both hands at them critically, back and*j ilm "They are better," she said. “You ought to seen them when they was so clawy they made Mickey shiver if I touched him: and first time I wanted to kiss something or go like granny did, he wouldn't let me ‘til I cried, an' then he made me put it on his forehead long time, 'til 1 got so the bones didn't scratch him; didn’t you Mickey?" "Well I wish you wouldn't tell everything!" "Then I won't," said Peaches, “ ’cause I’m your fam'ly an' I must do what you say; an' you are my fam'ly, an' you must do what 1 say. Are you «i fam’ly?" she questioned Leslie and Douglas. "We hope to be soon," laughed Leslie. “Then," said Peaches, “you can look how we’re fixing our house so you can' make yours nice as this. Mickey, I want to show that pretty lady in the auto’blle my precious child.” "Sure!" said Mickey. “I'll go tell her. And the man with her Is Miss lA’slie's father, just like Peter is outs; you want to show him the child, don't you?” "Maybe!" said Peaches with a tan talizing smirk. "Miss Chicken, you’re getting well too fast," commented Mickey In amazement as he started to the car. Recause of what Mr. Winton had said to him the previous day, lie composed and delivered this greeting when he reached it: "Lily is asking to show you her precious child, Mrs. Minturn, and I want both of you to see our home, and meet our new father and mother. lotting us have them is one thing the law does that makes up a little for the Orphings’ homes most kids get who have had the had luck to lose their own folks.” "Mickey, are you prejudiced against Orphans' homes?” asked Mrs. Min turn as she stepped from the car. "Ain't no name for it," said Mickey. "I'm dead against bfinching children in squads. If rich folks want to do something worth while with their money, they can do it by each family taking as many orphings as they can Hfford, and raising them personal. See?" "I should say 1 do!” exclaimed the lady. "I must speak to James about that. We have two of our own, and William, but I believe we could man age a few more." "I know one I'd like very match to try," said Mr. Winton hut Mickey never appeared so unconscious. He managed his introductions very well, while again Peaches justified her appellation by being temptingly sweet and conspicuously acid. When Mickey reached Peter in his round of making friends acquainted, he slid his arm through that of the big man and said smilingly: "Nobody is going to mix me with Peter's son by blood —se« what a fine chap Junior is: but Peter and I fixed up my sortship with the Almighty, whom my Peter didn't deny, when he took me in. and with the judge of the Multiopolis courts: so even if it doesn't show on th . . Mil key even as he shook hands with h.s right: "You surely do.” he said, "by law and by love, to the bottom of all our hearts.” The visit was a notable success. The buttermilk was cold, the spice lake was fresh. the apples and peaches were juicy, the Improve : merits highly commendable. Peter' was asked If he would ronsiuer ■« membership in the Lolf club, ihe play house was discussed, and three hours later a group of warm friends parted, with the agreement that Mickey was to spend a day of the latter part of the week fishing on Atworter. The Hardings smiled broadly. "Well, son, did we manage that to your satisfaction?" asked la ter. "Sure.” said Mickey. I might have been mistaken in what naif of that trip was for, but 1 think not. "So do I,” said Mrs. Harding em phatically. “They were just Itching to get their fingers on Peaches; while Bruce and Mr. Winton both were chagrined over our getting you first." "We feel bad about that too, don t we, Peter?" laughed Mickey. ( “Well. I would," said Peter, "if it were the other way around. . 1 didn t mind the young fellow. You'll be with him every day, and he'll soon have boys of his own no doubt; but I feel sorry for Mr. Winton. He looks hungry when he watches you He could work you into his business fine." "He'S all right, he's a nice man, said Mickey, "but I've lived off the Herald all my life 'til this summer, so when school is over I go straight to Mr. Chaffner.” The Winton car ran to the club house; sitting In a group, the occu pants looked at each other rather foolishly. "Seems to me you were going to bring Peaches right along, if you liked her, Leslie," laughed Douglas. "The little vixen!" she said flush ing. L , "Sorry you didn't care for her, he commented. "It is a pity!" said Leslie. "Rut I didn't 'miss bringing her along' any farther than Mrs. Minturn missed taking her to the hospital to be ex amined and treated!" "Pi! have to go again about that. ' said Mrs. Minturn. "I just couldn't seem to get at it, someway.” "No, you ‘just couldn't seem to,"’ agreed Douglas, "And Mr. Winton 'just couldn’t seem to’ lay covetous hands of Mickey, and bear him away to be his assistant any more than I could force him to he my Little Brother. I hope all of us have a realizing sense that we are permitted to l.e good and loyal friends: but we will kindly leave Mickey to make his own arrangements, and work oat his own salvation. »vd that of his child. And Leslie, I didn't hear you offer ing to buy any of the quaint dishes and old furniture you hoped you might pick up there, either." "Heavens!" cried Leslie half tear fully. "How would any one go about offering to buy an old platter that was wrapped in a silk shawl and kept in the dresser drawer during repairs, or ask a man to s»t a price on old furniture, when he was scrap ing off the varnish of generations and showing you wood grain and coloring with the pride of a veteran collector? 1 feel silly! Let's play off our chagrin, and then we ll be In con dition for friendship which is th»- part that falls to us, if I understand Mickey." "Well considering i the taste I've had of the quality of hi* friendship. I hope you won't he surprised at the statement that I feel highly hon oured.' said Mr. Winton. leading tl« way. While the others thoughtfully followed .. ~ With four days’ work the Harding home began to show w-hat was being accomplished. The song of the housewife carried to the highway. Neighbours passing went home to *b lent, overworked drudges, and critical* lv examined for the first time stuffy? dark kite hen reeking with steam, hi t. and the odour of cooking and decorated with the gritne of years. The little leaven of one home in the neighbourhood, as all homes should be. set them thinking. A week had no- passed until people began railing Mrs Harding to the tlephone to ex plain just what she was doing, and why. Men would stop to ask Peter what was going on, so every time he ■ aught a victim, he never released him until the man saw sunrise above a kib hen tal)l< . a line in the base mint for a w-inter wash, kitchen im plements fiom a pot scraper and food pusher to a gas range and electric washing machine, with a furnace and hardw od floors thrown in Koon the I P of shovelled shingles, the sound of sawing, and the ring of hammers filled the air. The Harding improvements im proved so fast, that sand, cement, and the big pile of lumber liegan ac cumulating at Peter'S corner of the . i.,s t r .ols below the home, for the playhouse. Men who started by , ailing Peter a fool, ended by borrow ing his plans and belaboring them selves for their foolishness: for the neighbourhood was awakening and beginning to develop a settled convic tion as to what constituted the Joy of life, and that the place to enjoy it was at home, at d the time, immedi ately. Peter's reward was not only in renewed happiness for himself and Nancy: equal to it was his pleasure over the same renewal for many of his lifelong friends. Mickey started on his day to At water with joyful anticipation, but he jumped from Douglas' car and ran up the Harding front walk it three o'clock, his face anxious. He saw the Harding car at the gate and wondered at Peter sitting dressed for leisure on the veranda. “Got anxious about Lily.” he ex plained. "Out on. the lake I thought I heard her call me, then I had t'ne notion she was crying for rne. They laughed at me. but I couldn't stand it. Is she asleep, as they said ehe'd be?” Peter opened his lips, but no word came. Mickey slowly turned a ghast ly white. Peter reached in his side pocket, drew out a letter, and handed it to the boy. Mickey pulled the sneet from the envelope, still staring at Peter, then glanced at what he held ard collapsed on the step. Peter nr ved beside him, laid a steadying arm across his shoulders and proved his fear was as great as Mickey's by being unable to speak. At last the boy produced articulate words. "He came?" he marvelled. "About ten this morning," sa d Peter. "He to. k her to the hospital?” pan'ed Mickey. "Yes,” said Peter. "Why did you let him?” demanded Mickey. T: it helped Peter. He IndlcAtad the letter.
