TRACK TEAM
MAY TO
CALIFORNIA
Manager McCarty, of the universi
ty track team, has received an offer
from the University of California to
take a team from here to Berkeley
and hold a meet there on April 20.
The offer will be accepted it the men
who represent the university are In
condition. The only difficulty In hold
ing meets between the California and
northern schools Is that the men do
reach their prime at t he same time.
In the south the men are much more
advanced than In the north, owing to
better weather early In the season,
and thus In early meets the Callfor
nlnns, while In the lato dates Oregon
would hold the odds on the supposi
tion that the teams are about even.
Nothing has yet been settled about
the big tri-stute meet at Seattle. It
is possible that the date May 31 will
be substituted for the 30th.

"So you won't have me! Who are
you waiting for? There's uo other girl
around but would say 'Yes, and
tbanky,' too," young Mnsee said au
grlly, crushing his bat as he spoke.
Peggy laughed.
"Oh, for a fairy prince, of course,
Johnny one with spunylos all over
blm and a coach and four," she said.
"I know you've got a horse and buggy,
money In the bank and the name of a
good chance. Somehow, though, 1 don't
want you very stupid of me, I dare
say, but I don't. I think I can tell you,
though, who does wunt you worst of
nil," as she saw him put up a protest

dear! Go right on and usk her. She's
worth three of me. And then her Aunt
Sarah will leave bur money. Think
how easy you'll get rich with money
coming In on both sides."
'I don't want nny Sally Job," Mnuee
raged. "She's she's been after me
since we went to school together.".
"But don't you think you'd better let
me or some other body Hay it, John
ny?" Peggy demanded, her eyes danc
ing. She liked J'lhnny In u way de
spite his colossal conceit, a conceit
somewhut excused by his bringing up.
the pet and Idol of three maiden aunts.
'"Tisn't a nice thing to say that of a
girl," she weut on. "The fact that you
do say It and don't see that It Isn't
nice Is one of the reasons I won't have
you."
"It Is, ell?" Magee said, almost chok
ing. "I came here courting, not to be
lectured on manners. Have your way,
though. Miss Peggy Lester. But, mark
whut I tell you, some tiny you'll be
sorry for whut you're doing now."
"But not so sorry us If I hadn't done
It," Peggy flung buck at blm. She had
been a bit sorry for him. Now she was
angry through and through. "If I
thought there was a woman anywhere
big enough and rough enough to thrash
you within an inch of your life I'll

pray that you might get her. Unless
there Is such a one I hope you'll die u
bachelor."
"Peggy, what are you saying?" Mrs.
Lester demanded, stopping stock still
In the sitting room door, with her tray
of cliLer and crullers. "You mustn't
mind her, Johnny," Bho went on. "You
know she's u little spltllro that docsn t
menu what she says."
"She does mean It this time," Magee
answered sulkily. "Hut. Mrs. Lester, I
hope you won't let that keep you from
being my frleuil."
"Surely not." Mrs. Lester said, set
tins down the tray. J.ihn.iy must be
wrought up when he refused her crul
lers, to say nothing of tlu- elder. She
looked, severely at her daughter. Peg
gy tossed her bead. "I'm a friend of
Johnny," she said, with it shadow of a
smile. "He can't deny It. I've been
advising him for his own good."
"Goodliy! When I take your advice
I'll let you know." said Johnny huffily,
bis hnud on the door. Mrs. Lester sank
dowu. trembling nil over.
"You've done it now, Peggy," she
said. "Old Miss Km Magee will never,
never lend us the money to pay that
soeurlt.v debt of your father's.
Our '
home will have to go."
"No, It won't," Peggy said stoutly,
munlng to her mother as she spoke.
"We won't usk Miss Km. Instead, I'll
go up to tho city and see 1'ncle John."
"It will be no use. He said he'd nev-
er help us airalo when he made up the

Lester said dejectedly, "lint your iioor j

"Now, now. mother'. "Don't fret or :

Now she wished desperately that she

whet Iter she would not have welcomed

upon her then and there.
The minutes weut Iciidenly, each one
seeming nn hour. l'resently she
heard twelve strokes of the clock and
suw men begin to struggle out. putting
on greatcoats as they went. A grlu
nlng ollicc boy said to her:
"If you ain't got n date with the
boss," nodding toward the inner of
fice, "better make one and come again.
See!" Then she heard a clerk say to
an Inquirer over the telephone, "Mr.
Ileddlug is out; won't be back till
o'clock."
"Are you sure?" l'Vgy ventured,
touching tiie man's arm lightly. He
smiled und nodded half insolently.
Peggy turned from him. biting her lip.
As she weut blindly toward the do ir a
young man, somewhat hook nosed and
very red lipped, came from the Inner
olllce. started at sight of her. then hur
ried up to her, asking suavely how he
might serve her. Inside of a minute
he knew everything and stjod looking
down nnd pulling his mustache
thoughtfully, but almost instantly
brightened, saying she must follow Mr.
Hcdding; nothing easier. The boy
should fetch a cab. anil he himself
would give direction . Might lie ven

to serve a relative of his old friend

Something happened tinti. Just how
Peggy never understood. A plain faced
young man. who had glanced at her
pityingly as she passed lnt.) the private
ollice. somehow ro.-e i!p f:-om the pave

man nwny in something of a panic.
"He's not lit to speak to any decent
girl." the deliverer explained as he
took I'l-ggy hack to her place of wait
ing. The deliverer said no more to her.
Instead there was a lively liuz.liig of
telephones and some guarded talk over
wires. As a result of It Peggy was
sent In charge of the ollice bay up to
her I'nclo John's house. She stayed
there a week and went homo with all
the money she would take a deal
moro than she had thought of asking
for.
Even that was not nil. She knew
