A TIIlULLING [ APPEAL
You can Imagine that I was not the last nt
breakfast , where I hlll a eat between Atldl-
son and Greene , both ot whom seemed very
quiet fellows , though they were nice to me
and made conversation
Going down In the train I played whist
with Greene ! , Addison and Miller. Greene and
Miller were In hotter spirits , and were guying
each other most ot the time
"Do you remember , Jack , " said Addison
to Greene , "last year how mad Dudley got
at the man opposite him , who simply did
nothing but lie down and hold on to Dud's
f knees every time also ball was put In play ?
I
Dud couldn't tlo a thing , and the umpire
wouldn't stop It , so thorn we were. We
coultln't get Dud Into the Interference , and
wo coullln't run him , 90 he had a thinking
Iart. The joke at It all was that Dud , who
19 awfully fond at the girls , had got a box
for ono at the fair ones and her entire tam-
1 lIy , and they were all on hand to see the
infant hercules play the whole gaml. Every
row minutes Dud would walk up to the um-
1lre , and , with tears In his eyes , beg him
to watch the man hold him. "
"What would you have done ? " I asked
Greene ! .
I "Well , my dear boy , wo all ot us have our
rights , you know , and I'm only an end ! and
don't meddle with guard work , because It's
not my business
"I know what I'd have done , ' said Addison -
son
son."Let's have It , my little bantam ; " said
Greene : meantime 'ou'ro nol playing mucn
whist : I take It that nine ot mine was the
highest out . and you might have been good
enough to let It alone. "
" [ beg your pardon , really , " apologized
Addison : "I wasn't noticing. "
i "AU rIght : now , supposing you had been
as big nM Dud what would have happened ? "
"Why , I should have told the umpire I'd
take care at myself It he'll just be- good
enough to keel the man on sldo Then I
should have stood back about three or tour
feet I kept telling Dud to tlo that but ho
wouldn't Ito thought he could pull away "
"Why , George , It he had done that the
guard would have reached you before you
could get rid ot the ball" said Miller.
"No , he wouldn't , because he'd been told
just one thing , and that was 10 hang on to
Dudleyand you coul < 1n't have made him
even look at anybody else. "
"Oh , well : we- all ot m. play some other po-
lilt Ion better than our own ; ' said Greene
"DI,1 you over see me play halt back T I'm
Il daisy , but Lalf1ton : Is so jealous ! he won't
let me try , and keeps meo out on the end
\ \ hrethere's ! no fun at all. "
At that point Dudley cam along the aisle
looking up into the racks. " . \ny at you fel-
10ll"u seen ! my dress suit case ? " he said 1.
"What. " salll Miller , "havo you lost that
again : I swear , 1 believe It you have that
Langton'wlll make you play naked or just
liS you aro. lie ) said the last time you did
that he'd have a valet ! go with you In tu.
lure"
"I wish to goodness ! he would It's an awful -
ful bore to keep track at thlngto. Ah ! there
t It is . " with a sigh at relief , liS he saw the
lI\tchel down In the corner near the door
Soon we un into the tunnel , and everyone
commenced to get hIs traps together
Arriving ut New York , we went over to the
hotel and after a halt : hour's walt sat : down
10 luncheon It was as Greene had 1 said , a
decidedly light repast , but I could nol have :
eaten the most tempting dinner , for 1 was on
txlge with thoughts at the game I noticed
that : for all their nonchalance many ot the
ethers were nervous about the iistter Lang.
Ion called out from the hell 1 ot the table : :
"I want every man dressed and 1n my room ,

his ' room twenty minutes later I could hear
the clump clump at the heavy cross-pIeced
toot ball shoes ns the men came straggling
In , lacing up their canvas jackets as they
wlilked. Fairfax and Hartley were just
fastening up a new ball , Hartley drawing
the leather lace through with a buttonhook ,
while Fairfax held the ball In his lap. Ad-
tllson was seated on the floor replacing a
broken shoestring with a new one. Dudley
was adjusting an elastic kneecap over his left
knee , and as ho did 80 the muscles above his
knee stood out mngnillcently. The others
were scattered about the room , almost every
one still In the final stages ot a toilet for the
game IIIlIler was cutting holes In n pair at
shin guards , and slipping laces through to
fasten them , having broken the ela tlc bantls.
I.angton seemed to be the only person tully
dressed and ready He was counting noses ,
to be sure that the men were all on band
"Whero's Drewster ? " he snl < 1.
110'11 be down In a minute , " sold Thorn-
ton , one at the halves "l1o's just sewing a
bIg bunch of cotton batting Into the elbow
ot his jerFey "
Just then Drewster came In wIth what appeared -
peered 10 bo II huge tumor pendant trolll his
right elbow
"I :1lrtax : bas a tW words to say to us , "
called out Langton , and In ! a moment every
one was quiet.
Fairfax began : "You fellows arc going Into
a game today where you must play toot ball
to win. A number of years back the Chatham -
ham game tlhln't cut much Ice with any-
body Yo always won Then a few years
ago there was II row and a good deal ot hard
feeling , and for two or three seasons we
tlldn't play them. lAst year we began again
and those of you who played saw that Chat-
ham knew just as much toot ball as we did ,
that they had had the same coaching and
although we beat them we had to work for
It Now , I'm going to tell you jest what
wo won on with them , and what you'll have
to show to win today It's what Is behind
every Hallock tealll , nine and crew. You
get thin credIt at It , but It Isn't yours , or ollly
a very small part at It le . t's ) yours to keep -
up and hand down to the next team. It Ie
the moral force ot a long succession at victo
rice , together with the knowledge that neither
the man on your right hand nor the man on
your left hand , nor the man behind you will
tall yon on a pinch. When we get a llallock
tram down to the point ot representing the
universIty In the Important matches It
tlosn't ! have any cowards or quitters on It.
There are no fancy or grand stand players
In those faded old stockings \ , and there hm't
n man there-thank Gotl-and I say It re\'er-
cnlt-wllo would stop one Instant to tlllnl
of himself liS against his college or hie team.
The man without training the natural man ,
when he Is tired will slop , when ho has a
pain In his side he sits down and waits for
It to go away when he runs his shin up
against something hard he says 'Oh ! ' and
stoops down 10 rub it . All that Is right
enough and there'lt no discredit attached
to him lint when wo start In 10 play
for Hallocle , when wo go In to
represent the men who , year litter year
as they came along In their time have stood
grief without a whimper and set tile old
cardinal UI' where It ought to be , on the
everlasting top then we tlon't stop to think '
whether we are tired , whether we have II ;
pain , whether something has hit us : we just :
sot our teeth , and Ihere's only one stoPlllng' ' '
place for us . and thai's across the enemlos'
goal lineCp ! have picked our men , end
each ! of you can be lure that there are ten , ,
good men with him who will never stop. :
They are Hallock men , and 88 the hlnligtk
men before them never quit , they never will ,
and the Hallock men who come after them
will have learned the same grand old lesson ,
and have the same record to 1alntaln. All' ' '
this goes under the name prestige . and It' . .
a good name , but 'Hallock luck' will do just
1111 wall If people want to call It
( hat . It won't worry us a bit. About
the game today , We are brought up to know
that Irion 1 18 our great rival , , and , or course ,
,
we mean to bs most fit when that game
comes on , but with toot ball It has always
been Hallocl's care to lose no games-In
fact , to have no ono sorce on them Some-
times It cannot bo helped 1 , but you ne'dn't !
believe that. H can generally. Chatham Is
different \ crowd from that at the old < 1a ) ' 1.
Dy the most careful selection at candidates
they have brought theIr teams up until they
are not only worthy foes In all respects , but
a mighty hard team to beat. They will \ play
hard and well. But they haven't that one
thing 1 told you ot-they ha\"en't that past
that Hallock hils-that something that no
team earns for itself but which Is handed
down to It by previous teams. Don't you
over forget that when you go 0:1 : the field , arid
don't forget It today "
Then Ltnglon : got on his feet and In a low
tone began : "You have heard what Mr.
Fairfax has said-what wo have to' tlo. I
I
want to add that It can be done by each man ,
making up his mind before he goes In that
he'll ! ! play every minute as It the referee had
just called out , 'I.'lvl' minutes more to play , '
and we had the ball within three yards ot
their goal H's too late to talk to any of
you about specllli play There Isn't a man
hero , who dO 3n't know just what he ought
\0 \ do , and It you keep your wits about you
you won't need any words after wc get on
the field I want to see you begin early I
want you to play the first fifteen minutes as
though you had no more than that limo In
which to score. That's nil. "

CHAPTER VI. 'j' I
THE GAME
then we all trooped down stairs ; and no-
body said much , I know I felt there was
. II
through the narrow. prlvllle gate and walked
up a few steps Into our dressing ! room It
was a barren enough spot , and we were all
In a hurry 10 gel out. As We came down the
steps we saw the Chatham team just stllrt-
lag across for the grounds As I looked
over I saw the stands well filled , while on
the bleacheno and 011 the field a black ee (
at men rasa up and howled and cheered as
the blue and gold stripes came out upon
the gridiron. Then we followed , and as we
omereJ ; upon the IInl\ : marked ground I felt
a queer thrill go through , : me as the deeper
"rah rah mh" ot lhllocle began and went
atcadily ! down the lines. Then from one
stand to another spread the . old cheer with
the resounding "Hallock" at Its end liS we
went down toward the farther goal.
Lan ; ton stopped a moment to tell ins that
ho dlcJu't believe Ierwln ! would last It out
and he added l : "Don't watch the general play ;
leeep 'OUI' eyes all their tackle so that 'ou'U
know what 10 do It you're called In. "
I made a deep mental resolve to keep my
eyes gilled to Chall\l\lll's right tackle. Pres-
tntly the referee called out , "All ready ! " and
wo rushed In and took the sweaters as our
men peeled them oft and ran back to the side
lines , piling them In a heap ) and seating our-
salves upon them Roland was next to me ,
and for tile first time that dayI had a chance
for a word with him "Can they beat us ,
do you think ? " I asked In a suppressed whis-
per.
per."No. . they can't Dick but they may score , "
he replied , and 1 noticed that he . too , was
quite white with excitement "They'vo got
the klcle-olT , " I heard him say and In 'an-
other moment our team was spread out I
IIwlllting the onslaught. I
Then came a pause , and I could < feel my iI i I

-
veryy little to be sal 1 , but as Fairfax was
speaking I had tell creepy up and down my
back , and I am sure that It be hal asked
mo to jump out ot the whitlow for Hlillocl I
should have done It. Wo had a 'bus over to
Richmond avenue , where a special car was
ailing for us on the elevated road.
"U's going to be a game today , " said
Greene , as ho seated himself next me. "Falr-
fax ) never would have talked to us like that
unless he thought It was necessary He
hates to talk , but bo can do It when ho
starts in . "
"I should think he could , " said I. "lie
male ( me feel as though I could walk up to
the guns all by myselt. "
"That's the WilY you ought to feel , my
boy , when you go Into a game , It Isn't all
getting pIctures taken and reading your
name In the newspapers-this toot ball.
There's sometimes when you feel bad lifter
you've hal , a hard ( tumble and had the breath
squeezed out at you , and they send another
runner at you as soon as they can , and the ,
interference hits you again and they've made i
their fire yards , and they.thlnk they've found
the weak spot and keep banging away at It . I
Then , Goddard , Is the time when , If y u're i
IIn end , t's I such loads of comfort to hear ,
just al you go down among the interferers ,
that sort at rasping thud as your tackle nails

seat with a long drawn sigh , evidently tblnk.
log of poor Willis and how he should miss
him before the SQuon was out
"I see " he continued , "You think I mean
Willis , but I wasn't complaining. lIe hu
d e thai for me many II time , but I expect
yob or Merwin will do the same "
"I'll certainly try , " I said , most lunestI
Soon we wire at the ground , and filed
heart jumping up1lln1my throat and nearly
choking me , . I 'Jshh'ered In spite of the
sweater wrapped about my neck Suddenly
the man at' the peak 'ot the Chatham wedge
stooped lower , the ball went back and the
mass came charging ? forward , warping over
toward our right tackle. I saw Spellman run
up and drop just lu , front ot It , while Dudley
and Miller prang'lup' ' Into the air and dove
over the heads at. the outer flanlls. Then
three men came out : ot the rear like a flash
over toward where . Warner and Bentley were
moving up glnge1y. ! ' Warner struck the
leaders squarely , ' ; anib the runner shot out
from behind whereat ) Bentley gave a quick
duck and lifting him up by the thighs went
down with him , .Jbr,11I went tile reteree's
whistle , and "firslIdo\Vnl" ! I heard him call ,
They had gained I\lIou twelve yards , as near-
ly as I could see ; fo the play was on the
other side of the tlld "
Then both sides lined up Quickly and be-
tore 1 could sea how It was done a Chatham
man shot out tram what looked like a huge
pile of men , the base of which was formed
by Spellmlln and DUdley. The mlu's plunge
carried him at least three yards , although
ho was leaning so tar forward that It was
impossible for him to keep his feet ,
"Hooray I Hooray ! I am Chatham , " pealed
out again They lined up again and once
more came that push , then a snap liS the
line opened and tour yards more
"Can't we itop it ? " 1 found mnelf saying
to Rolald ) , Stabbing ; hi4 arm as though by
the force of my grip 1 ould help.
"It' somethlnar new , " muttered he , never
moving . his eyes from that steadily advancing
mass "Our teliowl will get onto tt presently .
ently There ! ! ' cried he , jumping to his feat ,
"tbey've left . the ball for holding " and In
a moment I law Drewater and Lanaton come
- - = - = _ or
closing up Dud Spellman was stooping over
the ball with little Addison behind him with
his hm : on Spellman's leg ,
" \\'alch 'em now , " said Roland , "that's
I.algton's ! signal " and hardly hal the words
escaped him when , with a rush over toward
our side of the field came the interference ,
I.anrton ; following close behind It. As It
came over toward the Chatham end , 1 saw
Lanclon get up Ihto his stride and come like
a deer , the ball under Ills left arm mid his
right ready to meet the first tackler. On

Langton rolled over and over with tM force

ANIMAL : PILGRIMAGES.
Clouds of' Winged JUIIN.tll Jllo'lnc
with Military : I'l'N'11110n. ,
The dwellers In the San Gabriel Valley ,
California , witnessed not long ago II vast
procession at yellow butterflies that came
train no one knew where and were moving i
on In a northwesterly direction , parallel with '
the Sierra Madre ranle. By counting the ,
Insects that fluttered by a certain window
within live minutes , and learning later that
they extended tram 100 miles to th& touth ,
some idea 1 : or the magnitude of the procession
could be Imaglne
Where these golden lined butterflies came
tram and where they were going could not
be determined , but impelled by some strong
instinct they were movIng on like human
pilgrims In the Orient , who journey to
Mecca or the Sacred river. The direction
of the butterfly pilgrimage was always the
same and following the wall of rock tONnlng
the SIerra Madre mountains and a remarK-
able feature was that they were never fiylnl l ;
In a reverse dlrl'ctlon.

CLOUDS 01 PAINTED LADIES. '
Butterflies called painted ladles are often '
met in great columns. Those seen In one at the
canyons ot Switzerland some years ago nearly
filled the great gorge with the splendidly col-
oretl creatures In South America columns of
yellow butterflies have been seen crossing the
rivers In enormous troops , occupying many
hours In the passage , so that their numbers
were beyond human comprehension. At night
they alight and cover tile trees , and a photo-
graph has been taken by an electric light
In Europe at a branch so completely covered
with sleeping and resting butterftloa that the
loaves and twigs could not be seen
A naturalist sailing off the South American !
coast near the river Plata found the air so
filled with butterflies one day that the sailors
said It was snowing butterflies and as tar
liS the men could see from the yards lho sky
was filled with the beautiful flying creatures
Sir Robert Scbomburgh , an enthusiastic
naturalist , on a trip up the Sessqulbo river
encountered a pilgrimage of yellow butterflies
whose nllmbers were so great that they obscured -
scured the sunlight and covered the trees and
leaves yellow hue. Sir Robert journeyed
UII the river for over nine miles beneath tills
living canopy.
SWARMS OF LOCUSTS.
In Russia some years ago the bands 01
traveling locusts threatened the entire coun-
try near the Black sea with tllmlne.
Attempts were made to drive the Insects
away or divert them from their path without
success , They settled upon villages and de-
spite fires and attacks from the inhabitants ,
destroyed the crop and everything green.
Finally the destruction became so menacing
that the emperor was appealed to . and , as a
result , I\.n \ army of 40,000 rained soldiers
were ordered into the I"eflon , armed 1 , nol
with g4Us , but with shovels and varIous IIg-
rlcultur l Imphllli-nta with which to destroy
the winged pilgrims The sight which met
this army was appalling. The ground In
some place was covered two or three feet
deep by locustI' ' , and horses could hardly haul
the heavy wagon through lhem. The men
advanced on tlje horde In solid phalanx \ \ : and
beat them down with their spades , urled
and burned them , aided by the villagers !
MARCHING WORMS
The American army worm 1M. In Its movq-
meats , a pilgrim 10 be tlreaded. A few
years ago ; they l\Jdlenly \ appeared In a Nar4
England town , The day previous not onll
could bt seen They came from the eat
moving on In a solid mass eating almost
.
everything ; In their path. Ditches were dug
to stop them , but I saw hens ( pouring over
Into them lIIee a slow , sluggish current , fill-
Ing them up and passing on At the end of
taro days they had entirely dIsappeared.
At this time a gentleman living on Long
Island told Ill ! ) that he heard ! I\ strange
noise In his grain field one night , a pen-
etrating rustling sound , and proceeding to the
spot he found that the army worms were
In the field 1 : they were climbing the stalks
at graIn In millions , thus causing the rushing
.Sound 1. When the sun 1'050 a vast field 01
empty talks told the story , and the pilgrims
were moving on , finally to enter ! the ground
and later reappear liS moths and fly away
Ignorant of the ( vast damage they had done ,
ARMY OP ANTS
Many ants pilgrImages are made to obtain
food 1 , the Insects eating everything In their
route : other pilgrims lire perhaps proceeding
to war , while others are simply changing
their hqrne , ahd impelled by instinct , move
on to pastures new.
The excavations of the 80-called white ant
of the east are remarkable from the ; tact
that they are made In many Inlt..1nces under
cover The Inseo . build or exbavate long
tunnels t . enter buildings from below , and Instead -
stead of climbing 6. . . table , after tqe hold and
open fashIon of ii'rdlnary a\l \ s they begIn

much labor thin entails ea be Imagined
'by boring a halo up tlirodgti a table leg
with a gimlet ; yet a tunnel Is pot only made
by three marauding Insects , but the table Is
often completely hollowed out t ,
Probably the most remarkable Instance of
the work at these insects l was seen In Ceylon
some years ago and reported to the British
government by Colonel James Campbell ot
the Fiftieth regIment. lie was sitting one
afternoon In an old Dutch house conversing
with some ladles and gentlemen , when a loud
roar was heni and the house literally tell
about them. To their amazement they sat
uninjured , surrounded by the wreck of the
building , with the blue sky above them , They
scrambled out through the clouds at dust and
found that their escape was little less than
a miracle. Other parts ot the building tell In
with such a . crash that the lJolso was heard
all over Colombo , and the people ran to the
wreck front every direction. Examination
showed that the building had been completely
undermine by these wonderful workers : the
timbers had been hollowed out and nothing
but a shell left to support the root , which
finally \ tell , leaving I the wreck as I\ monument -
ment to the work of this destructive Insect.
PILGRIMS DY SEA.
Dy tar the most remarkable pilgrimage
ever observed among the lower animals was
that witnessed In Norway , not once but several
oral times within this century. A party at
fishermen upon one occasion were encamped
on the borders at a small Worl and were
mending their nets when they observed II
number of temmlngs-a little animal allied
to the beavers-coming out of the wood that
skirted the sbore. At first seeing ! the men ,
they . ran back then others appeared and
more until hundreds were upon the beach.
As the day passel the numbers continually
Increased until before night the calllP at
the men was alive with the little creatures
that now began to take to the willer. Thou-
sands came pouring tram the woods In the
ensuing few days , followed by hawks and
other predatory animals that ted upon them
They passed on Into time water , swimming
,
over It , scores being drowned during the
passage , the rest reaching the opposite shore
and moving on Into the woods , Impelled ( hy
the strange instinct It Is said that nothinG
deters these pilgrims but II stone wall whIch
they cannot soale Plies at grain and fodder
they have been known to tunnel through ,
their instinct being to move ahead In a given
IIno
line.The fishes make rem rkable pilgrimages
