A FOOTBALL HERO
WAS a great cross to Mr and
IT Bartlett that Roger was ap
parently quite devoid of any
worthy ambition Their two older
boys were so utterly different Fred
had been graduated from Yale with
highest honors and Horace was mak
ing remarkable progress at the Sci
entific School in fact they were both
exceptionallj fine students which
made the contrast all the more strik
ing
For Roger was sadly unlike his
brothers He seemed to labor under
the impression that he had been sent
to college simply and solely for the
purpose of learning to play foot ball
Apparently nothing else had power to
kindle the slightest enthusiasm in his
sluggish breast and his father and
mother argued and expostulated with
him in rain
You are frittering away your valu
able time they argued again and
again and are letting slip golden op
portunities which once gone will never
come back to you and what have you
to show for it all but a broken nose
and a fractured collar bone
Is there any prospective benefit to
be derived from these hours spent in
scrambling after a foot ball his fa
ther questioned severely to which
Roger merely responded in his usual
off hand style Why knows but I
may be elected captain of the varsity
team next year
Is that the height of your ambi
tion his parent returned bitterly I
am terribly disappointed in jrou sir
Are you to go on playing foor ball for
ever and ever or what do you propose
to make of your life Perhaps you
think that your reputation as a foot
ball player will prove an open sesame
to all desirable positions Do you sup
pose that anyone wants a fellow who
has willfully wasted his best opportuni
ties 1 had hoped to make a profession
al man of you not a professional ath
lete and had even aspired to seeing
you some day in our leading law office
with my old friend Wilkinson Siual
ley but its no use Smallay wants
only young men of the highest prom
ise and Mr Bartlett sighed wear
ily
It does no good to talk to Roger
he confided to his wife afterward for
hardly ten minutes had elapsed after
I had been remonstrating with him
about the evils of foot ball before he
inquired if I wouldnt bring you dOAvn
to see the game on Saturday and in
formed me that he had saved two tick
ets for us
Mrs Bartlett regarded her husband
helplessly What did you say to him
then she queried
I told him certainly not Mr
Bartlett exclaimed warmly and I ex
pressed my surprise at his daring to
suggest such a thing Show me some
lasting benefit or any abiding good
that is to be derived from this ridicu
lous game I told him and then come
to me to abet you in such follv but not
till then
And so Mr and Mrs Bartlett failed
to witness that memorable game in
which their youngest son gained for
himself such enviable laurels Once
in the field Roger was like ons trans
formed Keen alert cool rising splen
didly to every emergency no one would
have known him for the same slow
indifferent easy going specimeu of hu
manity who grieved the ambitious souls
of his parents by his small aptitude
for Greek
Not that Roger was by any means a
dunce for his class standing was fair
ly good but what pained his father
and mother was the recognition of
what he might have accomplished had
it not been for the arch enemv foot
ball
The great game over the victorious
team hastened back to their gymna
sium with all possible speed they had
some little distance to go as the gym
nasium was not very near the ball
grounds so that in order to reach it
they were obliged to traverse the cen
ter of the town and cross the tail-
TnCTQT t Vlrfc TlOr Vl3An flnfnn 3
-e-- v u -ii ucluiui ci u lim
ment or so longer than the others
-reached -the station a short time after J
they had crossed and found the plat
forms crowded with people who were
returning from the game mingled with
those who were alighting from incom
ing drains As he stepped upon the
platform he became conscious that
something unusual was going on and
he immediately perceived that the eyes
of the multitude were riveted upon a
figure half way across the tracks a fig
ure pausing there in bewilderment
Theres a train coming each way
somebody gasped why doesnt he get
off the track
The station agent and one or two
other officials were shouting loudly
but the man who was old and very
deaf appeared thoroughly dazed As
he was preparing to step upon the
track nearest him he caught sight of
one train coming down upon him and
he now staggered back and was about
to plunge in front of the other down
coming express when suddenly some
thing very unexpected happened
As the crowd of bystanders shrank
back with horror stricken faces con
vinced that they were about to witness
the horrible fate which must instantly
Fertake the old man a figure bj a
II
much begrimed canvas jacket sprang
out from among them and clearing
the tracks at a bound alighted beside
the swaying form of the other
A shudder and a wave of pitiful re
gret swept over the motionless crowd
He can never drag him back in time
they breathed they will both be kill-ed-oh
the pity of it
But our football man had no thoughc
of dragging the unsteady figure in front
of either approaching engine In an
instant he had tackled the man and
thrown liim flat upon the ground be
tween the tracks for all the world
quite as if he had been an opponent on
the football field then he dropped light
ly on top of him and lay there motion
less while the two trains thundered
past on each side of them and the
crowd stood waiting spell bound
In much less time than it takes to de
scribe the episode it was over and
what might have been a tragedy had
proved to be only a bit of melodrama
after all yet as Roger jumped up and
pulled the old man on to his feet ap
plause and cheers louder than any
that had greeted him on the football
field rang in his ears
Abashed and quite overwhelmed by
such an ovation Roger made haste to
elbow his way through the crowTd and
in so doing nearly overthrew his own
brother Fred who happened to be
standing directly in his path
For heavens sake was that yon
Roger he cried confronting him in
astonishment
Do let me get out of this his
brother responded impatiently they
neednt make such a fuss because I
knocked the old duffer over and he
bolted in the direction of the gymna
sium
Saturday night generally brought the
scattered members of the Bartlett fam
ily together as the collegians always
made a point of coming home to spend
Sunday under the parental roof tree
On this particular Sunday evening
all were assembled before Roger came
in Fred was all agog to describe the
scene that he had witnessed but he un
selfishly held his tongue Ill not
spoil his story for him but will give
him a chance to do justice to it he
mentally ejaculated as he watched his
brother swallowing his soup with un
ruffled composure
But Roger said nothing about the
vital subject and Fred looking at him
with increasing surprise as he judi
cially set forth the respective merits
of the opposing football teams and
called attention to their most vulner
able points
Ill turn in early to night I think
he yawned as he withdrew from the
dining room I put pretty solid work
into the last half of that game and
he leisurely wended his way upstairs
I wish that Roger would put a little
solid work into something else his
father volunteered as he disappeared
from the room
At this Fred who had in times past
repeatedly scoffed at his brothers ath
letic proclivities instantly fired up
Father he burst forth youre
making a big mistake about Roger
Hes got more genuine stuff in him
than all the rest of us put together and
if its football thats done it the soon
er we all go in for the game the bet
ter and then he proceeded to give
a graphic account of the afternoons
experience which caused his father
to blow his nose loudly and repeatedlj
while his eyes glistened with happy
pride and sent his mother weeping in
search of the sleepy athlete who
couldnt understand what he had done
that was worth making such a fuss
about
A few days later Mr Bartlett k
ceived a note from his old friend Wil
kinson Smalley which ran somewhat
as follows
Dear Bartlett I hear that your
Roger is going in for the law and if so
I want him When he gets through
with the law school you can hand him
over to me for hes just the material
that Im on the lookout for and you
may well be proud of him
t He scared me out of a years
growth the other afternoon at the
station the young rascal but in spite
of that I wish you would tell him to
come round and take dinner with me
some night for I want to talk to him
With kind regards to Mrs Bart
lett believe me ever your friend
WILKINSON SMALLEY
When Roger came home the follow
ing Saturday his father handed him
the note remarking Im afraid I
havent appreciated your football old
man but Im going to do better in fu
ture and by the way Roger I hear
that youre to play in the game at
Springfield next week is that so
Roger nodded
Very well then Mr Bartlett con
tinued your mother and I would like
to have you get us the best seats that
can be bought for weve set our hearts
upon going up to see you make the first

JLcgend of the Strawberry
Did you ever being hungry try to
satisfy your appetite with strawber
ries alone unaccompanied by sugar
cream or any of the usual adjuncts If
so you discovered that it was impossi
ble for there isno nourishment in the
strawbery itself
The Germans explain this by a pious
legend which we will give in substance
A little child had strayed off into the
fields He came upon a place where
natures floor was enameled with
bright scarlet berries
He sat down on the ground and be
gan eating greedily
The berries were large and juicy and
sweet The child was eating thus when
the Virgin Mary called to him
He ate on and would not stop to
make answer The virgin called out
to him again and again but the greedy
child feasted en and answered never
a word a
Then the virgin emerged from her
hiding place and confronted him
What are you doing she asked
Eating he answered curtly
What are you eating
Nothing he answered to make the
story short
So let jt be then replied the irate
virgin Strawberries shall henceforth
be as nothing to him who seeks to sat
isfy the cravings of his stomach
That is why you may eat and eat and
strawberries will never satisfy your
hunger Through the greed of a child
the luscious strawberry was cursed
with emptiness Salon
